Last modified
CVE-2021-21862 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Multiple exploitable integer truncation vulnerabilities exist within the MPEG-4 decoding functionality of the GPAC Project on Advanced Content library v1.0.1. A specially crafted MPEG-4 input can cause an improper memory allocation resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow that causes memory corruption The implementation of the parser used for the “Xtra” FOURCC code is handled. EPSS estimates a 1.43% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
