|
| Impact | Can lead to buffer overflows, incorrect security checks, or unexpected behavior that may be exploitable for code execution. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), this represents a significant risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker provides a large numeric value that, when processed, wraps around to a small value, causing an undersized buffer allocation followed by an overflow. |

Attack Technique
Integer overflow occurs when an arithmetic operation produces a result that exceeds the maximum value a given integer type can store.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
