electron is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow
40
Medium Risk
This Affects:
electronTL;DR
Electron is an open source framework for writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. In versions prior to 28.3.2, 29.3.3, and 30.0.3, the nativeImage.createFromPath() and nativeImage.createFromBuffer() functions call a function downstream that is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. An Electron program that uses either of the affected functions is vulnerable to a buffer overflow if an attacker is in control of the image's height, width, and contents.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
