Upgrading to version 3.13.0RC1 can resolve this issue. The identifier of the patch is 3e04c0385630e4d42517046d9a4967dfccfeb7fd. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in OSGeo GDAL versions through 3.13.0dev-4. The issue resides in the Grid File Handler component, specifically within the GDSDfldsrch function of the GDapi.c file. The vulnerability is triggered by an unchecked string manipulation operation that strips quotes from a metadata-derived string. When the FieldList metadata value is empty, this operation causes a size_t underflow, leading to an out-of-bounds read and a subsequent heap-buffer overflow. This vulnerability must be approached locally, and the exploit has been disclosed publicly.
Upgrading to OSGeo GDAL version 3.13.0RC1 addresses this vulnerability.
