CVE-2024-11495
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedBuffer overflow vulnerability in OllyDbg, version 1.10, which could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code due to lack of proper bounds checking.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in OllyDbg version 1.10 due to insufficient bounds checking. The flaw allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code by overflowing a buffer, potentially gaining full control of the affected system.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate OllyDbg executable on the systemSearch for ollydbg.exe in common installation directories. Use Command Prompt: dir /s /b C:\ollydbg.exe 2>nul or PowerShell: Get-ChildItem -Path C:\ -Recurse -Filter ollydbg.exe -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue. On Linux with Wine, check ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Affected if The OllyDbg executable is found on the system
-
Verify the installed version is 1.10Right-click the ollydbg.exe file, select Properties, go to the Details tab, and read the Product version field. Alternatively, use PowerShell: (Get-Item 'path\to\ollydbg.exe').VersionInfo | Select-Object ProductVersionAffected if The Product version field shows exactly 1.10
-
Confirm file metadata matches vulnerable releaseCheck the File version and Product version in the executable's version info. Ensure the version is 1.10 and not a patched variant. Use a hex editor or strings utility to inspect the binary for version strings if Properties are unavailableAffected if The executable reports version 1.10 and no later patched version is installed
If OllyDbg version 1.10 is present on the system, the environment is vulnerable to CVE-2024-11495 and the buffer overflow can be triggered when processing malicious input.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataIf a patched version is available, update OllyDbg immediately. Otherwise, consider migrating to an alternative debugger (such as x64dbg or Ghidra) and remove OllyDbg from production systems. Implement least-privilege principles to limit local attack surface.
