Descriptions

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the LXT2 lxt2_rd_expand_integer_to_bits function of GTKWave 3.3.115. A specially crafted .lxt2 file can lead to arbitrary code execution. A victim would need to open a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

Existe una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer en la región stack de la memoria en la función LXT2 lxt2_rd_expand_integer_to_bits de GTKWave 3.3.115. Un archivo .lxt2 especialmente manipulado puede provocar la ejecución de código arbitrario. Una víctima necesitaría abrir un archivo malicioso para activar esta vulnerabilidad.

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.
