Hot Take:

Move over, RPG Maker. It seems like your save files are becoming the newest weapon of mass corruption! Who knew your harmless little pixelated world could pack such a punch? It’s like the digital version of finding out your grandma is a secret ninja. Beware of seemingly innocent `.lsd` files; they might just crash your dreams – literally!

Key Points:

  • Vulnerability in liblcf v0.8.1 allows for integer overflow.
  • The flaw is triggered by a crafted RPG Maker `.lsd` save file.
  • Involves unbounded shifts and accumulation loops in `ReadInt()`.
  • Results in out-of-bounds memory reads and potential denial of service.
  • Proof of concept involves a malformed integer containing 11 bytes of `0xFF`.
