CVE-2025-11014
📋 TL;DR
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in OGRECave Ogre's STBIImageCodec::encode function, allowing local attackers to execute arbitrary code or crash applications. This affects systems running Ogre up to version 14.4.1 that process images using the STBICodec plugin. The vulnerability requires local access to exploit.
💻 Affected Systems
- OGRECave Ogre
📦 What is this software?
Ogre by Ogre3d
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Local privilege escalation leading to full system compromise, arbitrary code execution, or denial of service.
Likely Case
Application crash or limited code execution within the context of the vulnerable process.
If Mitigated
Minimal impact if proper access controls and sandboxing prevent local attackers from reaching vulnerable components.
🎯 Exploit Status
Proof-of-concept exploit is publicly available in the GitHub references. Exploitation requires local access and specific image processing operations.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: 14.4.2 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre/issues/3445
Restart Required: No
Instructions:
1. Update Ogre to version 14.4.2 or later. 2. Recompile applications using Ogre with the updated library. 3. Replace any vulnerable Ogre installations with patched versions.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Disable STBICodec plugin
allRemove or disable the vulnerable STBICodec plugin to prevent exploitation.
Remove OgreSTBICodec.dll/.so from plugin directory
Comment out STBICodec in plugins.cfg
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict access controls to limit local user privileges
- Sandbox applications using Ogre to contain potential exploitation
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Ogre version and verify STBICodec plugin is present and active.Check Version:
Check application documentation or build configuration for Ogre versionVerify Fix Applied:
Confirm Ogre version is 14.4.2 or later and verify the fix in the STBICodec source code.📡 Detection & Monitoring
