Gnu · Gmp · CVE-2021-43618
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP) versions through 6.2.1
**Description**
The issue is related to an integer overflow and resultant buffer overflow in the mpz/inp raw.c component of the GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP) on 32-bit platforms. This can be triggered by crafted input, leading to a segmentation fault. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic Library (GMP) versions through 6.2.1, update to a version later than 6.2.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the mpz/inp raw.c component until a patch is available.
