Memory disclosure via unchecked tetrahedral field indexing
Published May 28, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in libigl 2.5.0 allows remote attackers to disclose process memory through a crafted .msh file. readMSH sizes each element-field vector from the file-declared ElementData count, then indexes tetrahedral field data by the Element-section position without verifying that the computed offset remains within that vector. Exploitation requires a consuming application to process the supplied file; returned TetF data can expose adjacent heap contents, while no integrity or service-interruption impact is reported.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
