A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the LXT2 lxt2_rd_expand_integer_to_bits function of GTKWave 3.3.115. A specially crafted .lxt2 file can lead to arbitrary code execution. A victim would need to open a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.
The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow.
The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
