NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream icoutils package and not the icoutils package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. A buffer overflow was observed in the "decode_ne_resource_id" function in the "restable.c" source file. This is happening because the "len" parameter for memcpy is not checked for size and thus becomes a negative integer in the process, resulting in a failed memcpy. This affects wrestool.
