CVSS v2.0

7.8

High

VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
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.
