CVE-2026-46470
CWE-369Published: May 14, 2026· Updated: May 19, 2026
Official Description
An issue was discovered in GStreamer gst-plugins-good before 1.28.2. When parsing MP4 audio tracks, the isomp4 plugin's qtdemux_audio_caps function does not sufficiently validate atom data before performing division operations, leading to denial of service due to integer division by zero.
Risk Analysis
This critical vulnerability in GStreamer's gst-plugins-good could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted MP4 audio track. The flaw stems from insufficient validation of atom data before division operations, leading to an integer division by zero. Given its critical CVSS score of 9.1 and remote exploitability, this issue poses a significant risk for system availability.
No public exploit is currently known for this vulnerability. However, its network attack vector and low attack complexity suggest it could be exploited remotely without user interaction.
Administrators should update GStreamer gst-plugins-good to version 1.28.2 or later to address this vulnerability. Regularly patching multimedia processing libraries is crucial to prevent denial-of-service attacks.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-46470 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.1.
