A.3 Security considerations
26.2443GPP3GPP file format (3GP)Release 17Transparent end-to-end Packet-switched Streaming Service (PSS)TS
The 3GPP file format may contain audio, video, displayable text data, images, graphics, scene descriptions, etc. Clearly it is possible to author malicious files which attempt to call for an excessively large picture size, high sampling-rate audio etc. However, clients can and usually do protect themselves against this kind of attack. It should be noted that selected metadata fields may encompass information partly intended to protect the media against unauthorized use or distribution. In this case, the intention is that alteration or removal of the data in the field would be treated as an offense under national agreements based on World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties.
There is no current provision in the standards for signing or authentication of these file formats.
