Description

Creolabs Gravity before 0.9.6 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the gravity_vm_exec function that allows attackers to write out-of-bounds memory by crafting scripts with many string literals at global scope. Attackers can exploit insufficient bounds checking in gravity_fiber_reassign() to corrupt heap metadata and achieve arbitrary code execution in applications that evaluate untrusted scripts.

CWE-122

Heap-based Buffer Overflow

A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc().
