Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Nosefart version 2.9-mls
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an invalid memory read and application crash, via a crafted nsf file. This is due to a problem in the chk mem access function in the cpu/nes6502/nes6502.c file of the libnosefart.a library.
Recommendations
For Nosefart version 2.9-mls, consider avoiding the use of crafted nsf files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the execution of potentially malicious nsf files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
