FKIE_CVE-2025-52938

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-06-23 10:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:37
Severity
5.1 (Medium) - CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L/S:N/AU:Y/R:A/V:D/RE:M/U:Amber
Summary
Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in dail8859 NotepadNext (src/lua/src modules). This vulnerability is associated with program files lparser.C. This issue affects NotepadNext: through v0.11. The singlevar() in lparser.c lacks a certain luaK_exp2anyregup call, leading to a heap-based buffer over-read that might affect a system that compiles untrusted Lua code.
