High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.23%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
An exploitable out of bounds write vulnerability exists in the parsing of ELF Section Headers of Hopper Disassembler 3.11.20. A specially crafted ELF file can cause attacker controlled pointer arithmetic resulting in a partially controlled out of bounds write. An attacker can craft an ELF file with specific section headers to trigger this vulnerability.
