CVE-2023-45677: 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[len] = (char)'\0';. The root cause is that if len read in startdecoder is a negative number and setupmalloc successfully allocates memory in that case, but memory write is done with a negative index len. Similarly if len is INTMAX the integer overflow len+1 happens in f->vendor = (char)setupmalloc(f, sizeof(char) (len+1)); and f->commentlist[i] = (char)setupmalloc(f, sizeof(char) (len+1));. This issue may lead to code execution.
