Stack-based buffer overflow in the Read32s_64 function in src/lib/cdfread64.c in the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Common Data Format (CDF) library before 3.2.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a .cdf file with crafted length tags.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
