Submit #654060: Open Babel 3.1.1 / master commit 889c350 Heap-based Buffer Overflowinfo

TitelOpen Babel 3.1.1 / master commit 889c350 Heap-based Buffer Overflow
BeschreibungOpen Babel 3.1.1 (master commit 889c350) is vulnerable to a heap-buffer-overflow in the OBSmilesParser::ParseSmiles function. When parsing certain malformed SMILES strings, the parser performs an out-of-bounds read on a dynamically allocated vector of integers, resulting in undefined behavior and potential denial of service (DoS). An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by supplying crafted input to applications or tools that rely on Open Babel for SMILES parsing.
