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 · unedited
A vulnerability was identified in floooh sokol up to 5d11344150973f15e16d3ec4ee7550a73fb995e0. The impacted element is the function _sg_validate_pipeline_desc in the library sokol_gfx.h. Such manipulation leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack must be carried out locally. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product utilizes a rolling release system for continuous delivery, and as such, version information for affected or updated releases is not disclosed. The name of the patch is b95c5245ba357967220c9a860c7578a7487937b0. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.

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.

How this class of weakness works · CWE-119

The program reads or writes outside the bounds of an allocated buffer, corrupting adjacent memory. With crafted input an attacker can overwrite control data and, with effort, redirect execution to their own code. Remediation ranges from bounds checking and safe library functions to compiler mitigations, usually alongside a careful audit of the surrounding code.

Recommended fix High confidence
  1. Navigate to the sokol repository at https://github.com/seyhajin/sokol
  2. Locate the commit b95c5245ba357967220c9a860c7578a7487937b0 in the commit history
  3. Review the diff of commit b95c5245ba357967220c9a860c7578a7487937b0 to understand the security fix applied to sokol_gfx.h
  4. Apply the changes from commit b95c5245ba357967220c9a860c7578a7487937b0 to your local copy of sokol_gfx.h, specifically the _sg_validate_pipeline_desc function
  5. Rebuild the sokol library with the patched code
  6. Test that the _sg_validate_pipeline_desc function no longer exhibits stack-based buffer overflow behavior
Caveat This is a rolling-release library with no versioned releases; patch must be applied manually to the current commit being used
