Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2016-07-19 22:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:48
Severity
9.8 (Critical) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
Integer overflow in the rtxMemHeapAlloc function in asn1rt_a.lib in Objective Systems ASN1C for C/C++ before 7.0.2 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow), on a system running an application compiled by ASN1C, via crafted ASN.1 data.
