Nedmalloc · Nedmalloc · CVE-2012-2675
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** nedmalloc versions prior to 1.10 beta2 **Description** The issue is related to multiple integer overflows in the `CallMalloc` (malloc) and `nedpcalloc` (calloc) functions in nedmalloc. This makes it easier for attackers to perform memory-related attacks, such as buffer overflows, via a large size value. The overflows cause less memory to be allocated than expected, potentially leading to memory-related issues. **Recommendations** For versions prior to 1.10 beta2, update to version 1.10 beta2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of large size values in the `CallMalloc` and `nedpcalloc` functions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
