Summary
gerbv vulnerability
Details
George-Andrei Iosif and David Fernandez Gonzalez discovered that Gerbv did not properly initialize a data structure when parsing certain nested RS-274X format files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (application crash).
