Summary
Electron vulnerable to Heap Buffer Overflow in NativeImage
Details
Impact
The nativeImage.createFromPath() and nativeImage.createFromBuffer() functions call a function downstream that is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow. An Electron program that uses either of the affected functions is vulnerable to a buffer overflow if an attacker is in control of the image's height, width, and contents.
Workaround
There are no app-side workarounds for this issue. You must update your Electron version to be protected.
Patches
v28.3.2v29.3.3v30.0.3
