CWE-122
AllowedHeap-based Buffer Overflow
Abstraction: Variant · Status: Draft
A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
4149 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

GHSA-5PMV-RX8R-WMV5
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-07-02 20:45 – Updated: 2026-07-02 20:45Summary
On 32-bit platforms, decoding a crafted image may lead to out-of-bounds writes due to integer overflow in length calculation.
Details & PoC
The test listed below fail under miri with command cargo +nightly miri test --release -p jxl-grid
Or you can use Address Sanitizer, which ignores Rust-specific UB like aliasing but still flags out-of-bounds accesses:
RUSTFLAGS=-Zsanitizer=address cargo +nightly test -Zbuild-std -p jxl-grid --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
The following tests should be appended to crates/jxl-grid/src/test/subgrids.rs:
mod miri_ub {
use super::*;
// `AlignedGrid::with_alloc_tracker` computes `width * height` unchecked. In release, overflow
// can create a tiny backing buffer for huge logical dimensions.
#[test]
fn aligned_grid_dimension_product_overflows() {
let width = usize::MAX / 2 + 1;
let mut grid = AlignedGrid::<u8>::with_alloc_tracker(width, 2, None).unwrap();
let mut subgrid = grid.as_subgrid_mut();
*subgrid.get_mut(0, 1) = 1;
std::hint::black_box(grid);
}
}
This issue can be reachable through decoding a crafted image in two ways:
-
Huge actual frame A frame such as
65536 x 65536passes the current frame area limit (2^32 <= 2^40) but overflowsusizeelement count on 32-bit. Rendering then allocates too-smallAlignedGrids in modular/VarDCT/filter paths and later writes through mutable subgrids. -
Huge canvas plus tiny cropped frame This is the more practical “small payload, huge logical output” case. A bitstream-controlled frame crop can be tiny, but if the canvas/default requested region is huge, composition can allocate an output grid sized to the canvas/ROI at crates/jxl-render/src/blend.rs. That is bitstream frame cropping, not API crop. With a 32-bit target and a full requested image region whose area overflows, this can happen through ordinary
render_frame().
Impact
On 32-bit platforms this can cause out-of-bounds writes with attacker-controlled data when decoding a crafted JPEG XL image. This could allow arbitrary code execution.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-24 18:27 – Updated: 2025-02-24 18:27OpenH264 recently reported a heap overflow that was fixed in upstream 63db555 and integrated into our 0.6.6 release. For users relying on Cisco's pre-compiled DLL, we also published 0.8.0, which is compatible with their latest fixed DLL version 2.6.0.
In other words:
- if you rely on our source feature only, >=0.6.6 should be safe,
- if you rely on libloading, you must upgrade to 0.8.0 and use their latest DLL >=2.6.0.
Users handling untrusted video files should update immediately.

Mitigation
Pre-design: Use a language or compiler that performs automatic bounds checking.
Mitigation
Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
Mitigation MIT-10
Strategy: Environment Hardening
- Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking.
- D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND [REF-1334] discusses canary-based detection in detail.
Mitigation MIT-11
Strategy: Environment Hardening
- Run or compile the software using features or extensions that randomly arrange the positions of a program's executable and libraries in memory. Because this makes the addresses unpredictable, it can prevent an attacker from reliably jumping to exploitable code.
- Examples include Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) [REF-58] [REF-60] and Position-Independent Executables (PIE) [REF-64]. Imported modules may be similarly realigned if their default memory addresses conflict with other modules, in a process known as "rebasing" (for Windows) and "prelinking" (for Linux) [REF-1332] using randomly generated addresses. ASLR for libraries cannot be used in conjunction with prelink since it would require relocating the libraries at run-time, defeating the whole purpose of prelinking.
- For more information on these techniques see D3-SAOR (Segment Address Offset Randomization) from D3FEND [REF-1335].
Mitigation
Implement and perform bounds checking on input.
Mitigation
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
Do not use dangerous functions such as gets. Look for their safe equivalent, which checks for the boundary.
Mitigation
Use OS-level preventative functionality. This is not a complete solution, but it provides some defense in depth.
CAPEC-92: Forced Integer Overflow
This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.
