- CWE-118 - Incorrect Access of Indexable Resource ('Range Error')
Summary
Multiple arbitrary write vulnerabilities exist in the VCD sorted bsearch functionality of GTKWave 3.3.115. A specially crafted .vcd file can lead to arbitrary code execution. A victim would need to open a malicious file to trigger these vulnerabilities.This vulnerability concerns the arbitrary write when triggered via the vcd2vzt conversion utility.
