CVE-2009-4227

Stack-based buffer overflow in the read_1_3_textobject function in f_readold.c in Xfig 3.2.5b and earlier, and in the read_textobject function in read1_3.c in fig2dev in Transfig 3.2.5a and earlier, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in a malformed .fig file that us...

CVE-2009-4228

Stack consumption vulnerability in u_bound.c in Xfig 3.2.5b and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long string in a malformed .fig file that uses the 1.3 file format, possibly related to the readfp_fig function in f_read.c.

CVE-2010-4262

Stack-based buffer overflow in Xfig 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a FIG image with a crafted color definition.

CVE-2017-16899

An array index error in the fig2dev program in Xfig 3.2.6a allows remote attackers to cause a denial-of-service attack or information disclosure with a maliciously crafted Fig format file, related to a negative font value in dev/gentikz.c, and the read_textobject functions in read.c and read1_3.c.

CVE-2019-19555

read_textobject in read.c in Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7b has a stack-based buffer overflow because of an incorrect sscanf.

CVE-2021-40241

xfig 3.2.7 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow.
