Linux Debian vulnerability analysis and mitigation

A vulnerability has been identified in Nothings stb up to version f056911, classified as CVE-2025-3406. The issue affects the function stbhwbuildtilesetfromimage within the Header Array Handler component. This vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on April 7, 2025, and is classified as problematic. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond (VulDB).

The vulnerability is classified as an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) and improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer (CWE-119). The manipulation of the argument 'w' leads to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 4.3 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N. The CVSS v4.0 score is 5.3 (MEDIUM) with the vector string CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N (NVD).

The vulnerability primarily impacts system confidentiality, as it allows reading data past the end or before the beginning of the intended buffer. The exploitation can lead to unauthorized access to memory contents (VulDB).

Currently, there are no known official countermeasures or patches available. The suggested mitigation strategy is to replace the affected component with an alternative product (VulDB).
