Description Christopher Fore 2024-08-02 13:44:50 UTC 
CVE-2024-40897:

It is possible for a malicious third party to trigger a buffer overflow and effect code execution with the same privileges as the orc compiler is called with by feeding it with malformed orc source files.

This only affects developers and CI environments using orcc, not users of liborc.


The above is fixed in 0.4.39.
