Description

Gwenhywfar versions from 4.99.8beta up to but not including 5.14.2 contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the GWEN_TLV_Buffer_To_DB() function. This occurs when decoding BER-TLV tags into a fixed 128-byte buffer, allowing an attacker to crash the application by supplying a record with about 127 or more tag continuation bytes or a truncated multi-byte tag. The vulnerability can be triggered, for example, via a malicious chip card's EF_SSD file read by libchipcard's ZKA driver. The issue is fixed in version 5.14.2.
