Simple Directmedia Layer · Sdl · CVE-2019-7638
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SDL versions 1.2.15 and earlier
SDL versions 2.x through 2.0.9
**Description**
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer over-read in the Map1toN function of the SDL library, specifically in the video/SDL pixels.c file. This could allow a remote attacker to impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
**Recommendations**
For SDL versions 1.2.15 and earlier, update to a version later than 1.2.15.
For SDL versions 2.x through 2.0.9, update to a version later than 2.0.9.
As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `Map1toN` function in the video/SDL pixels.c file until a patch is available.
