Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS : GPAC vulnerabilities (USN-7320-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 225810

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7320-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that the GPAC MP4Box utility incorrectly handled certain AC3 files, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read. A remote attacker

 could use this issue to cause MP4Box to crash, resulting in a denial of service (system crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-5520, CVE-2024-0322)

 It was discovered that the GPAC MP4Box utility incorrectly handled certain malformed text files. If a user or automated system using MP4Box were tricked into opening a specially crafted RST file, an attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-0321)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
