Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

NASM’s disasm() function contains a stack based buffer overflow when formatting disassembly output, allowing an attacker triggered out-of-bounds write when slen exceeds the buffer capacity.

Use After Free
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

NASM contains a heap use after free vulnerability in response file (-@) processing where a dangling pointer to freed memory is stored in the global dependfile and later dereferenced, as the response-file buffer is freed before the pointer is used, allowing for data corruption or remote code execution.

Buffer Overflow
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Netwide Assembler (NASM) due to a lack of bounds checking in the objdirective() function. This vulnerability can be exploited by a user assembling a malicious .asm file, potentially leading to heap memory corruption, denial of service (crash), and arbitrary code execution.
