CVE intelligence and bounded remediation

CVE-2021-30022 — There is a integer overflow in media_tools/av_parsers.c in the gf_avc_read_pps_bs_internal in GPAC from 0.5.2 to 1.0.1

Medium CVSS 5.5

There is a integer overflow in media_tools/av_parsers.c in the gf_avc_read_pps_bs_internal in GPAC from 0.5.2 to 1.0.1. pps_id may be a negative number, so it will not return. However, avc->pps only has 255 unit, so there is an overflow, which results a crash.

Matched remediation archetype

Buffer bounds, memory safety, and memory corruption

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Identify affected native-code versions, build flags, architectures, parsers, codecs, drivers, and input paths in all shipped artifacts.
  • Determine whether untrusted data reaches the affected routine and the process privilege, sandbox, and network exposure.
  • Confirm statically linked, vendored, firmware, and platform-provided copies, not only package-manager records.

Remediate safely

  • Apply the maintained upstream correction or replace the affected component, then rebuild every dependent artifact from clean inputs.
  • Adopt bounds-checked interfaces, validated sizes and integer conversions, clear ownership, and memory-safe components where practical.
  • Enable supported compiler and runtime hardening and add sanitized tests and fuzz regression seeds derived from non-weaponized fixtures.
