CVSS v2.0
5.8
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) versions 2.0.12 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer over-read in the
Blit 3or4 to 3or4 inversed rgb function in video/SDL blit N.c, which can be triggered via a crafted .BMP file. This could allow a remote attacker to access confidential data and cause a denial of service.Recommendations
For SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) versions 2.0.12 and earlier, consider updating to a version later than 2.0.12 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
Blit 3or4 to 3or4 inversed rgb function in video/SDL blit N.c until a patch is available. Avoid using crafted .BMP files to minimize the risk of exploitation.Fix
