Technical details

The integer digit-scan loop in the lex() function fails to check buffer boundaries before dereferencing the input pointer when an exact-length schema buffer ends with a digit character. This results in a one-byte heap buffer over-read (CWE-122). The vulnerability requires processing a maliciously crafted FlatBuffers schema as input; a patch exists that adds a bounds check to the loop condition.
