An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2010-4259 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4259/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4259/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-4259","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4259/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-4259","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2010-4259","DSA-2253-1","GHSA-5g26-3q47-628q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FontForge font editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or crash FontForge by tricking a user into opening a malicious BDF font file with a long header.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"fontforge","vendor":"alexej_kryukov"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Stack-based buffer overflow in FontForge 20100501 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long CHARSET_REGISTRY header in a BDF font file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2010-12-14","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2010-12-14","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"15732","stars":null,"title":"FontForge - '.BDF' Font File Stack Buffer Overflow (PoC)"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4259","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2010"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4260"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4258"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2010-12-07","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or crash FontForge by tricking a user into opening a malicious BDF font file with a long header.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-4259/"}
