NVD description

Out-of-bounds Write in unfilter_scanline in warmcat libwebsockets allows, when the LWS_WITH_UPNG flag is enabled during compilation and the HTML display stack is used, to write past a heap allocated buffer possibly causing a crash, when the user visits an attacker controlled website that contains a crafted PNG file with a big width value that causes an integer overflow which value is used for determining the size of a heap allocation.

    Thought my engine found a 0-day. 48 hrs in, it autonomously wrote a harness for a PNG decoder and tripped a heap overflow: crafted width overflows the buffer-size math, malloc too small, unfilter_scanline writes past it. 70-byte repro. I checked. It's CVE-2025-11680. An n-day

    Post summary
