NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gpac package and not the gpac package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The HintFile function in GPAC 1.0.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted file in the MP4Box command.
