An upstream fix is merged but not yet released — mitigate (WAF / firewall / segmentation) until the release ships, then apply it.

An out-of-bounds read in the gf_dm_data_received function (downloader.c) of GPAC v26.07.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted HTTP request. Fixed in 2fd5a06ab226767900fd86edb5a1e8bfc1010640.

Exploitation public PoC (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact partial (CISA Vulnrichment). Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it: high means the affected system is essential to your organisation's mission, or its compromise could cause irreversible harm to people.
