Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
fig2dev version 3.2.7b
Description
The issue is related to a global buffer overflow in the
setfigfont function in genepic.c. This overflow is caused by copying a buffer without checking the input data, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.Recommendations
For fig2dev version 3.2.7b, consider disabling the
setfigfont function in genepic.c as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the genepic.c component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the fig2dev utility with untrusted input files until the issue is resolved.Exploit
