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.
