CVE-2018-14379

CWE-704Published: July 18, 2018· Updated: Jun 17, 2026

8.8
CVSS v3.1

Official Description

MP4Atom::factory in mp4atom.cpp in MP4v2 2.0.0 incorrectly uses the MP4ItemAtom data type in a certain case where MP4DataAtom is required, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted MP4 file, because access to the data structure has different expectations about layout as a result of this type confusion.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2018-14379 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.

A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 8.8.
