DescriptionCVE.org

Panda3D versions up to and including 1.10.16 egg-mkfont contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability due to use of an unbounded sprintf() call with attacker-controlled input. When constructing glyph filenames, egg-mkfont formats a user-supplied glyph pattern (-gp) into a fixed-size stack buffer without length validation. Supplying an excessively long glyph pattern string can overflow the stack buffer, resulting in memory corruption and a deterministic crash. Depending on build configuration and execution environment, the overflow may also be exploitable for arbitrary code execution.

AnalysisAI

Panda3D egg-mkfont (through 1.10.16) has a stack buffer overflow via an unbounded sprintf() with attacker-controlled glyph pattern input. PoC available.

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Supply oversized glyph pattern via -gp flag
Exploit
Trigger unbounded sprintf() in egg-mkfont
Execution
Overflow stack buffer
Impact
Execute arbitrary code or crash

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation egg-mkfont tool from Panda3D versions ≤1.10.16 must be invoked by attacker with ability to provide command-line arguments; -gp (glyph pattern) parameter accepts attacker-controlled input without length validation. Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 9.8 (Critical). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker provides a game asset package containing instructions to run egg-mkfont with a long glyph pattern. The stack overflow executes shellcode in the developer's environment.
Remediation Update Panda3D when a patch is available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI
