> DESCRIPTION

libcaca is a colour ASCII art library. In 0.99.beta20 and earlier, an integer overflow vulnerability in libcaca's canvas import functionality allows an attacker to cause a controlled heap out-of-bounds write (heap overflow) by supplying a crafted file in the "caca" format. Depending on the build configuration and memory allocator, this may lead to memory corruption or remote code execution. This is the same vulnerability as CVE-2021-3410 but the fix at that time was not fully correct. Commit fb77acff9ba6bb01d53940da34fb10f20b156a23 fixes this vulnerability.

CWE-122 CWE-190 CWE-787

> CWE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS

CWE-122: Heap-based Buffer Overflow - The product writes past the end of a buffer that was allocated on the heap. | CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound - The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number. | CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write - The product writes data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.
