7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

The FESTAHES_Load function in pce/hes.c in Festalon 0.5.0 through 0.5.5 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a negative LoadAddr value in a HES file, which is used as an offset in a memcpy operation and leads to a buffer underflow.

Affected configurations

• festalon festalon (<= 0.5.5) • festalon festalon 0.5.0
