Local application crash via mismatched buffer deallocation
Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025
Mismatched memory management in OGRECave OGRE 14.4.0 through 14.4.1 allows local users to crash an application during PNG encoding. STBIImageCodec::encode wraps a malloc-allocated stbi_write_png_to_mem buffer in an owning MemoryDataStream, which later releases it with delete[]. Exploitation requires local execution of an OGRE application path that saves image data; the demonstrated consequence is an allocator-mismatch abort under AddressSanitizer.
