DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in gix-date. The gix_date::parse::TimeBuf::as_str function can generate strings containing invalid non-UTF8 characters. This issue violates the internal safety invariants of the TimeBuf component, leading to undefined behavior when these malformed strings are subsequently processed. This could potentially result in application instability or other unforeseen consequences.

AnalysisAI

The gix-date library's TimeBuf component can produce invalid UTF-8 strings that corrupt its internal safety mechanisms, triggering undefined behavior in downstream processing. This local privilege escalation vulnerability affecting gix-date has public exploit code available and can cause application crashes or unexpected behavior when a local attacker supplies malformed input. No patch is currently available to remediate this issue.
