CVE-2025-54487

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the MFER parsing functionality of The Biosig Project libbiosig 3.9.0 and Master Branch (35a819fa). A specially crafted MFER file can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.This vulnerability manifests on line 8842 of biosig.c on the current master branch (35a819fa), when the Tag is 12:<br /> <br /> else if (tag==12) //0x0C<br /> {<br /> // sampling resolution<br /> if (len&gt;6) fprintf(stderr,"Warning MFER tag12 incorrect length %i&gt;6\n",len);<br /> val32 = 0;<br /> int8_t v8;<br /> curPos += ifread(&amp;UnitCode,1,1,hdr);<br /> curPos += ifread(&amp;v8,1,1,hdr);<br /> curPos += ifread(buf,1,len-2,hdr);<br /> <br /> In addition to values of `len` greater than 130 triggering a buffer overflow, a value of `len` smaller than 2 will also trigger a buffer overflow due to an integer underflow when computing `len-2` in this code path.
