ps: The vulnerability exits in the newest version. I checked it ever happened in older version ,but the patch didn't work in the newest version.The bug is still there. I tried to fix the bug based on the commit 915e2cb. (https://github.com/gpac/gpac/commit/915e2cba715f36b7cc29e28888117831ca143d78)

in /gpac/src/isomedia/box_code_base.c#L12890

if (prop_size>4) {
            tag_size-=2;
            prop_type = gf_bs_read_u16(bs);
            prop_size -= 6;
            ISOM_DECREASE_SIZE_NO_ERR(ptr, prop_size)
            //add 2 extra bytes for UTF16 case string dump
            data2 = gf_malloc(sizeof(char) * (prop_size+3));                  //1)  modified prop_size+2 into prop_size+3
            gf_bs_read_data(bs, data2, prop_size);
            data2[prop_size] = 0;
            data2[prop_size+1] = 0;
            data2[prop_size+2] = 0;                              //2) add this line
            tag_size-=prop_size;
        } else {
            prop_size = 0;
        }

Then saved the file and recompiled the gpac, here is my testing log :

Hope it's helpful!

Impact

This vulnerabilities are capable of crashing software, Modify Memory, and possible remote execution.
