Description

Creolabs Gravity before 0.9.6 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the gravity_vm_exec function that allows attackers to write out-of-bounds memory by crafting scripts with many string literals at global scope. Attackers can exploit insufficient bounds checking in gravity_fiber_reassign() to corrupt heap metadata and achieve arbitrary code execution in applications that evaluate untrusted scripts.
