# GPAC MP4Box: crafted MP4 file crashes the tool via floating-point exception

A floating-point exception in GPAC's MP4Box reframer (reframer_send_packet in filters/reframer.c) is triggered by a crafted MP4 file, as described in the NVD entry. An attacker who gets MP4Box to process such a file can crash it, causing denial of service.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Run `MP4Box -version` and compare against the fixed release.
- Check whether MP4Box processes untrusted MP4 files in any pipeline or service.

## Fix

- Upgrade GPAC to `2.5` or later, which the sources list as the first fixed version.

## Timeline

- 2026-10-23T21:57:21+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-60496

## From the sources

A Floating-Point Exception (FPE) in the reframer_send_packet function (/filters/reframer.c) of GPAC Project/MP4Box before 2.5 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via supplying a crafted MP4 file.
