CVE-2023-45676: GHSL-2023-145_GHSL-2023-151/GHSL-2023-165_GHSL-2023-172: Several memory access violations in stb_image and stb_vorbis

Published Oct 19, 2023
·
Updated

stbimage.h and stbvorbis libraries contain several memory access violations of different severity.

Other sources

stbvorbis is a single file MIT licensed library for processing ogg vorbis files. A crafted file may trigger out of bounds write in f->vendor[i] = get8packet(f);. The root cause is an integer overflow in setupmalloc. A sufficiently large value in the variable sz overflows with sz+7 in and the negative value passes the maximum available memory buffer check. This issue may lead to code execution.
