CVE-2024-24155 — Axiosys Bento4 security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 6.5

Bento4 v1.5.1-628 contains a Memory leak on AP4_Movie::AP4_Movie, parsing tracks and added into m_Tracks list, but mp42aac cannot correctly delete when we got an no audio track found error. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted mp4 file.

Matched remediation archetype

Resource exhaustion and denial of service

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

Check exposure

  • Identify attacker-influenced work factors including input size, nesting, compression, fan-out, regex cost, allocation, recursion, retries, and connection lifetime.
  • Map per-request and shared CPU, memory, disk, descriptor, thread, queue, and downstream-service limits.
  • Determine whether authentication, tenancy, quotas, and rate controls apply before expensive processing begins.

Remediate safely

  • Bound input size, nesting, expansion, work, concurrency, queue depth, retries, and execution time before resource-intensive processing.
  • Release resources on every success, error, cancellation, and timeout path and use backpressure instead of unbounded buffering.
  • Update affected components and add small deterministic tests that assert resource ceilings rather than exhausting a host.
