Descriptions

Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the VZT vzt_rd_block_vch_decode dict parsing functionality of GTKWave 3.3.115. A specially crafted .vzt file can lead to memory corruption. A victim would need to open a malicious file to trigger these vulnerabilities.This vulnerability concerns the integer overflow when num_time_ticks is zero.

Existen múltiples vulnerabilidades de desbordamiento de enteros en la funcionalidad de análisis de dictados VZT vzt_rd_block_vch_decode de GTKWave 3.3.115. Un archivo .vzt especialmente manipulado puede provocar daños en la memoria. Una víctima necesitaría abrir un archivo malicioso para activar estas vulnerabilidades. Esta vulnerabilidad se refiere al desbordamiento de enteros cuando num_time_ticks es cero.

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.
