The printDefineFont2 function (util/listfdb.c) in libming through 0.4.8 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted FDB file.
AnalysisAI
The printDefineFont2 function (util/listfdb.c) in libming through 0.4.8 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or unspecified other. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787), which allows attackers to write data beyond allocated buffer boundaries leading to code execution or crashes. The printDefineFont2 function (util/listfdb.c) in libming through 0.4.8 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, which may allow attackers to cause a denial of service or unspecified other impact via a crafted FDB file. Affected products include: Libming, Debian Debian Linux. Version information: through 0.4.8.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Validate write boundaries, use memory-safe languages, enable compiler protections (ASLR, stack canaries).
