Summary

A use-after-free flaw was found in GPAC up to f1219cde in the gf_list_count function of utils/list.c, used by the MP4Box component. The attack requires local access and a public exploit is already available. The issue is fixed in version abi-16.23 (patch 49dee5cad329cfed310c1682703df7daa47df31a).

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can trigger a use-after-free, causing a crash or potentially arbitrary code execution in the context of the process handling media files. Since the exploit is public, the risk of exploitation is high.
