Descriptions

A user able to control file input to Gerbv, between versions 2.4.0 and 2.10.0, can cause a crash and cause denial-of-service with a specially crafted Gerber RS-274X file.

George-Andrei Iosif and David Fernandez Gonzalez discovered that Gerbv did not properly initialize a data structure when parsing certain nested RS-274X format files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
