Unknown · Protobuf-C · CVE-2022-48468
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
protobuf-c versions prior to 1.4.1
**Description**
The issue is related to an unsigned integer overflow in the `parse required member()` function of the protobuf-c protocol serialization data. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code, potentially leading to full system compromise.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.4.1, update to version 1.4.1 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `parse required member()` function until a patch is available.
