Overview

A vulnerability (CVE-2025-3010) has been identified in Khronos Group glslang version 15.1.0. The issue affects the function glslang::TIntermediate::isConversionAllowed in the file glslang/MachineIndependent/Intermediate.cpp. This vulnerability was disclosed on March 31, 2025, and is classified as problematic due to a null pointer dereference issue (NVD, GitHub Issue).

Technical details

The vulnerability is caused by a null pointer dereference in the glslang::TIntermediate::isConversionAllowed function.
