Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in pfstools 1.6.2 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function readradianceheader. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a stack-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-121. A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Stack-based buffer overflow in the readRadianceHeader function in (1) src/fileformat/rgbeio.cpp in pfstools 1.6.2 and (2) src/Fileformat/rgbeio.cpp in Qtpfsgui 1.8.11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Radiance RGBE (.hdr) file.
