CVE-2024-36474

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the Compound Document Binary File format parser of the GNOME Project G Structured File Library (libgsf) version v1.14.52. A specially crafted file can result in an integer overflow when processing the directory from the file that allows for an out-of-bounds index to be used when reading and writing to an array. This can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the Compound Document Binary File format parser of v1.14.52 of the GNOME Project G Structured File Library (libgsf). A specially crafted file can result in an integer overflow that allows for a heap-based buffer overflow when processing the sector allocation table. This can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.(CVE-2024-42415)

This update for libgsf fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2024-42415, CVE-2024-36474: Fixed integer overflows affecting memory allocation (bsc#1231282, bsc#1231283).

This update for libgsf fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2024-42415, CVE-2024-36474: Fixed integer overflows affecting memory allocation (bsc#1231282, bsc#1231283).

This update for libgsf fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2024-42415, CVE-2024-36474: Fixed integer overflows affecting memory allocation (bsc#1231282, bsc#1231283).

It was discovered that libgsf incorrectly handled certain Compound Document Binary files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
