Description Vladimir Vasilev 2026-09-10 06:27:24 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

An out-of-bounds read in the stbsp_vsnprintf function (stb_sprintf.h) of nothings stb commit 31c1ad3 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted input.

Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2026-09-10 09:02:45 UTC
There’s a suggested patch for this in https://github.com/nothings/stb/pull/1995, but it was rejected without comment, presumably because it was drafted with AI/LLM assistance. The patch is straightforward enough and appears sensible enough to consider applying it downstream. Nothing in Fedora currently depends on the stb_sprintf library subpackage.
