Technical Summary
CVE-2026-14801 is a medium severity vulnerability in GPAC version 26.03-DEV-rev342-g80071f700-master. The issue is a divide-by-zero error in the function txtin_probe_duration within the TeXML File Handler component (src/filters/load_text.c). This occurs when the txml_timescale argument is manipulated. Exploitation requires local access. A patch exists (commit 86a5191f2e750c767253e27ed6cfd6d547afebc2) to fix the vulnerability.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause a divide-by-zero error, which may lead to application crashes or undefined behavior. Exploitation requires local access, limiting the attack surface. There is no indication of remote exploitation or privilege escalation in the provided data.
Mitigation Recommendations
Apply the patch identified by commit 86a5191f2e750c767253e27ed6cfd6d547afebc2 to remediate the divide-by-zero vulnerability. Since the vulnerability requires local access, restricting local user permissions and access may also reduce risk until the patch is applied.
