Multiple integer overflows in the (1) malloc and (2) calloc functions in Hoard before 3.9 make it easier for context-dependent attackers to perform memory-related attacks such as buffer overflows on implementing code via a large size value, which causes less memory to be allocated than expected.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-2676 affects older Hoard memory allocator versions before 3.9. Under certain conditions, very large allocation sizes can be miscalculated, causing software to receive less memory than expected and increasing the chance of memory corruption. Exposure is likely limited to software that explicitly links, embeds, or packages Hoard versions before 3.9. The source bundle does not identify broader platform packages or affected downstream products. Treat as a targeted legacy dependency risk. Prioritize verification where Hoard is used in exposed services or parsers, but do not assume enterprise-wide exposure without dependency evidence. Mitigation focus: Inventory software that links, bundles, or depends on Hoard.; Upgrade Hoard to version 3.9 or later where feasible.; Check downstream vendor advisories for packaged Hoard fixes..
