Description
An integer overflow in the DDS RGB888 loader of AMD Compressonator SDK could allow an attacker to supply a crafted DDS file that causes an undersized heap allocation and a subsequent out-of-bounds read, potentially resulting in process termination or limited disclosure of heap memory.

Impact

An integer overflow exists in the DDS RGB888 loader of AMD Compressonator SDK. The overflow leads to an undersized heap allocation and a subsequent out‑of‑bounds read. This can cause the process to terminate or allow an attacker to read a portion of the heap memory, potentially revealing sensitive data. The weakness is a classic example of integer overflow (CWE‑190).

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the AMD Compressionator SDK; specifically any deployments that load DDS images using the RGB888 loader. No further vendor or product versions are listed, so any installation that includes the affected SDK should be treated as vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates a moderate severity. Exploitation requires an attacker to provide a crafted DDS file that triggers the overflow; the attack vector is therefore local or remote through a malicious file submitted to the SDK. EPSS is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting it is not widely exploited at present. Nevertheless, the vulnerability can lead to denial of service or limited memory disclosure, warranting prompt attention.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑supplied patch or upgrade to a version of the AMD Compressionator SDK that corrects the integer overflow.
  • Restrict processing of DDS files to trusted sources and add validation checks to ensure allocation sizes are correct before loading.
  • Implement runtime safeguards such as sandboxing or bounds enforcement to contain any out‑of‑bounds read attempts and prevent process termination.
  • Review and strengthen code handling of image loader inputs to eliminate future numeric overflow or improper allocation issues.
