| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
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.Exploit
