An Out of Bounds flaw was found fig2dev version 3.2.8a. A flawed bounds check in read_objects() could allow an attacker to provide a crafted malicious input causing the application to either crash or in some cases cause memory corruption. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity as well as system availability.
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.
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
