An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the RS-274X aperture macro outline primitive functionality of Gerbv 2.7.0 and dev (commit b5f1eacd) and the forked version of Gerbv (commit d7f42a9a). A specially-crafted Gerber file can lead to information disclosure. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
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 reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
