Technical details

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) exists in Samsung Open Source Escargot, specifically affecting commit 97e8115ab1110bc502b4b5e4a0c689a71520d335. The flaw occurs when the engine reads data beyond the end of the intended buffer, which can lead to the exposure of sensitive memory contents or 'Resource Leak Exposure.' While the NVD lists a network-based vector with high severity, the vendor (Samsung TV & Appliance) specifies a local attack vector with high complexity. A patch has been identified in the project's GitHub repository under pull request #1554.
