Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NeoEngine versions 0.8.2 and earlier

Description The issue is related to multiple format string vulnerabilities that can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code. This is achieved through vulnerable functions such as Console::Render in neoengine/console.cpp and TextArea::Render in neowtk/textarea.cpp.

Recommendations For NeoEngine versions 0.8.2 and earlier, consider disabling the Console::Render and TextArea::Render functions as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable modules neoengine/console.cpp and neowtk/textarea.cpp to minimize the risk of exploitation.
