Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-02-01 00:30 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:30

Details

A stack buffer overflow exists in the ec_glob function of editorconfig-core-c before v0.12.6 which allowed an attacker to arbitrarily write to the stack and possibly allows remote code execution. editorconfig-core-c v0.12.6 resolved this vulnerability by bound checking all write operations over the p_pcre buffer.

Severity

7.8 (High)
