Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Variable via the kempf_restore_buf process. An attacker can access sensitive stack memory contents by crafting a G2M3/G2M4 stream with a short Kempf palette, causing out-of-range palette indices to copy uninitialized stack bytes, including pointers or stack guards, into the decoded output.
