Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow via the set_reg_n function. An attacker can cause a four-byte heap buffer overflow by supplying crafted SH2A FPU bytecode processed through cs_disasm_iter or cs_disasm with specific architecture and mode options, potentially leading to process crashes or arbitrary code execution depending on heap layout.
