AI-suggested
This vulnerability is fixed in HappySeaFox sail version 1.0.0. Users and developers should upgrade to version 1.0.0 or later to remediate this issue. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
Description
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in HappySeaFox sail library versions prior to 1.0.0 in the function sail_codec_load_frame_v8_xbm(). The issue arises from incorrect buffer size calculation when decoding certain X10 static short files, leading to a forward heap overwrite that scales with image height. This can corrupt process state, cause crashes, and potentially allow code execution. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.0.0.
