DescriptionNVD

stb_vorbis is a single file MIT licensed library for processing ogg vorbis files. A crafted file may trigger out of bounds write in f->vendor[i] = get8_packet(f);. The root cause is an integer overflow in setup_malloc. A sufficiently large value in the variable sz overflows with sz+7 in and the negative value passes the maximum available memory buffer check. This issue may lead to code execution.

AnalysisAI

stb_vorbis is a single file MIT licensed library for processing ogg vorbis files. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is 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. stb_vorbis is a single file MIT licensed library for processing ogg vorbis files. A crafted file may trigger out of bounds write in f->vendor[i] = get8_packet(f);. The root cause is an integer overflow in setup_malloc. A sufficiently large value in the variable sz overflows with sz+7 in and the negative value passes the maximum available memory buffer check. This issue may lead to code execution. Affected products include: Nothings Stb Vorbis.C.

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).
