Descriptions

Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the FST fstReaderIterBlocks2 chain_table allocation functionality of GTKWave 3.3.115. A specially crafted .fst file can lead to arbitrary code execution. A victim would need to open a malicious file to trigger these vulnerabilities.This vulnerability concerns the allocation of the `chain_table_lengths` array.

Existen múltiples vulnerabilidades de desbordamiento de enteros en la funcionalidad de asignación FST fstReaderIterBlocks2 chain_table de GTKWave 3.3.115. Un archivo .fst especialmente manipulado puede provocar la ejecución de código arbitrario. Una víctima necesitaría abrir un archivo malicioso para activar estas vulnerabilidades. Esta vulnerabilidad se refiere a la asignación de la matriz `chain_table_lengths`.

Claudio Bozzato discovered multiple security issues in gtkwave, a file waveform viewer for VCD (Value Change Dump) files, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files are opened.
