{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-18497","details":"A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability exists in the nothings stb TrueType library, up to version 1.26, that is used for parsing TrueType font files. The vulnerability exists in the stbtt__GetGlyphShapeTT() function within the nothings stb_truetype.h library when parsing malformed TTF (TrueType Font) files. The vulnerability resides in the glyph data parsing path.\r \r An attacker can craft a malformed TTF file with an inflated endPtsOfContours value and truncate the remaining glyph data. When an application utilizing stb_truetype.h (such as various game engines or graphics software) attempts to load, bake, or render this malformed font via stbtt_GetGlyphShape(), the parser will attempt to read past the end of the glyph data buffer, triggering the out-of-bounds read.","modified":"2026-09-09T08:47:28.696647077Z","published":"2026-08-07T15:16:59.707Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-18497"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-18497"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"libstb","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libstb?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0~git20220908.8b5f1f3+ds-1","0.0~git20230129.5736b15+ds-1","0.0~git20230129.5736b15+ds-1.1","0.0~git20230129.5736b15+ds-1.1~exp1","0.0~git20230129.5736b15+ds-1.2","0.0~git20240715.f7f20f39fe4f+ds-1","0.0~git20241109.5c20573+ds-1","0.0~git20250907.fede005+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-18497.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libstb","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libstb?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0~git20241109.5c20573+ds-1","0.0~git20250907.fede005+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-18497.json"}},{"package":{"name":"libstb","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/libstb?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.0~git20241109.5c20573+ds-1","0.0~git20250907.fede005+ds-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-18497.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"}]}
