Summary

CVE-2026-46469 is a medium-severity Divide By Zero (CWE-369) vulnerability in Freedesktop Gst-Plugins-Good. Its CVSS base score is 4.0 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Application or System Exploitation (T1499.004); ranked at the 1th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

An issue was discovered in GStreamer gst-plugins-good before 1.28.2. When parsing MP4 audio tracks, the isomp4 plugin's qtdemux_parse_trak function does not sufficiently validate atom data before performing division operations, leading to denial of service due to integer division by zero.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1499.004 Application or System Exploitation Impact
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities that can cause an application or system to crash and deny availability to users.
Why these techniques?

Division-by-zero DoS in MP4 parser directly enables application exploitation for endpoint denial of service (T1499.004).

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

prevent

Requires validation of MP4 atom data prior to arithmetic operations, directly blocking the unchecked division that triggers the integer div-by-zero DoS.

prevent

Mandates prompt application of the patched GStreamer version (≥1.28.2) that eliminates the qtdemux_parse_trak flaw.

detect

Enables monitoring for anomalous parser behavior or repeated crashes when malformed MP4 tracks are processed.
