Descriptions

cdf_read_property_info in cdf.c in file through 5.37 does not restrict the number of CDF_VECTOR elements, which allows a heap-based buffer overflow (4-byte out-of-bounds write).

La función cdf_read_property_info en el archivo cdf.c en file versiones hasta 5.37, no restringe el número de elementos CDF_VECTOR, lo que permite un desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria (escritura fuera de límites de 4 bytes).
