CVE-2024-24686
Published: 28 May 2024
Summary
CVE-2024-24686 is a high-severity Stack-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-121) vulnerability in Libigl Libigl. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).
Operationally, ranked in the top 7.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-24686 is a set of stack-based buffer overflow flaws in the readOFF function of libigl version 2.5.0. The issues occur during parsing of comments inside the faces section of an .off file and are tracked under CWE-121 and CWE-787. Successful exploitation yields a CVSS 7.8 rating reflecting local attack vector, low complexity, no privileges required, and user-interaction dependence with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
An attacker can supply a specially crafted .off file that triggers the overflow when the file is opened by an affected application using libigl’s readOFF routine. This grants the ability to corrupt stack memory and potentially execute arbitrary code or crash the process under the privileges of the victim user.
The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.09 with no material increase since disclosure. Public references point to detailed Talos analysis (TALOS-2024-1929) but supply no additional mitigation or patch guidance within the available data.
