HIGH 7.5

Flatpak: flatpak: buffer overflow in oci delta stream path names on 32-bit systems

CVSS Score
7.5
EPSS Score
0.0%
EPSS Percentile
0th

The OCI delta stream parser read sizes as guint64 but passed them to GLib I/O and allocation functions expecting gsize (32 bits on 32-bit systems), causing undersized allocations while subsequent operations use the original 64-bit size, leading to heap buffer overflows. An attacker controlling an OCI registry can craft a delta stream that triggers this during flatpak install/update, potentially achieving code execution on 32-bit systems.
