Out-of-bounds Read in Cgal Computational Geometry Algorithms Library
CVE-2020-28609
Multiple code execution vulnerabilities exists in the Nef polygon-parsing functionality of CGAL libcgal CGAL-5.1.1. A specially crafted malformed file can lead to an out-of-bounds read and type confusion, which could lead to code execution. An attacker can provide malicious input to trigger any of these vulnerabilities. An oob read vulnerability exists in Nef_2/PM_io_parser.h PM_io_parser<PMDEC>::read_face() store_iv().
EPSS: 0.019 (77.4th percentile) — read the EPSS interpretation.
