                                                            Now that I've dug my hands deep into the Mastodon core, it looks like it's definitely possible to get the original home instance counts for federated posts, not just your own server's local tally.

                                                            For boosts and favourites, recent versions of Mastodon already fetch the origin's reported totals when retrieving a post and store them as "untrusted counts" (untrusted because the remote server self-reports them). So a remote post carries the home server's actual numbers.

                                                            Replies are trickier, as they only federate to subscribed servers, so the local count tends to lag. However, you can fetch the full reply tree from the origin on demand.

                                                            I'm basing our algorithmic home feed exactly on that: boosts and favourites from the origin counts, and comments from a backfilled reply tree.

                                                                                                                  A use-after-free vulnerability exists in GPAC MP4Box when processing a crafted MPEG-2 TS/MP4 file. The issue is triggered during filter teardown in `gf_filter_pid_inst_swap_delete_task()` and can cause MP4Box to crash.

                                                                                                                  Summary:
                                                                                                                  AddressSanitizer confirms a heap-use-after-free in `filter_core/filter_pid.c:580`, where code reads from a PID instance object after it has already been freed during swap/delete cleanup.
                                                                                                                  The crafted file contains malformed MPEG-2 TS structures, including broken PMT descriptors and invalid PID metadata. While MP4Box processes the file with `-info`, the filter core performs PID instance cleanup. During this cleanup path, a PID instance is freed and later accessed again by `gf_filter_pid_inst_swap_delete_task()`.

                                                                                                                      Processing a crafted media file with MP4Box `-info` can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in `gf_filter_in_parent_chain()`, causing a Denial of Service.

                                                                                                                      Summary:
                                                                                                                      The `gf_filter_in_parent_chain()` function in `filter_core/filter_pid.c` does not sufficiently validate a parent filter pointer before dereferencing it. When MP4Box processes a specially crafted media file with malformed MPEG-2 TS data and a corrupted PID/filter chain, the vulnerable path can attempt to read from address `0x000000000008` (`NULL + 8`).

                                                                                                                      CWE:
