DescriptionCVE.org

Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in OSGeo gdal (frmts/zlib/contrib/infback9 modules). This vulnerability is associated with program files inftree9.C‎.

This issue affects gdal: before 3.11.0.

AnalysisAI

A buffer overflow vulnerability in GDAL versions before 3.11.0 within the zlib infback9 module allows remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution or cause denial of service through specially crafted compressed data. The vulnerability requires user interaction to trigger but has a network attack vector with no authentication needed. …

Access
Craft malicious ZLIB-compressed geospatial file
Exploit
Upload to GDAL processing service
Execution
Trigger buffer overflow in inftree9.C parser
Impact
Execute arbitrary code with service privileges

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires user interaction to open a crafted file processed by OSGeo GDAL versions before 3.11.0 with zlib/infback9 module enabled. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment While CVSS score and vector data are not provided, the vulnerability's classification as a buffer overflow in a compression library handling untrusted input represents significant real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker crafts a malicious geospatial file (such as a specially-formatted GeoTIFF or other compressed format handled by GDAL) containing deliberately malformed zlib-compressed data with invalid Huffman tree structures. When a vulnerable GDAL version processes this file, the inftree9.C decompression routine fails to properly validate buffer boundaries, causing a heap or stack buffer overflow. …
Remediation Upgrade OSGeo GDAL to version 3.11.0 or later to apply the official patch addressing the buffer overflow vulnerability. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all affected systems and apply vendor patches immediately. …
