A flaw has been found in GPAC 26.02.0. This affects the function nhmldump_send_frame of the file src/filters/write_nhml.c of the component Media File Handler. Executing a manipulation can lead to null pointer dereference. The attack requires local access. The exploit has been published and may be used. This patch is called bd1d94e70e3bef364c07c5a1d94eca5c9f56e160. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue. The project explains: I would consider most of these more as bugs than vulns but anyway theyre good to fix.
Weakness
The product does not release or incorrectly releases a resource before it is made available for re-use.
Potential Mitigations
- Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, languages such as Java, Ruby, and Lisp perform automatic garbage collection that releases memory for objects that have been deallocated.
