Fossies maintains a niche collection of document-conversion and file-analysis tools, with its exposure concentrated in the catdoc product line, which handles legacy office-document formats. The recurring vulnerability pattern centers on memory-safety and integer-arithmetic issues—NULL-pointer dereferences, classic buffer overflows, integer overflows and underflows, and out-of-bounds writes—that are endemic to C-based parsers processing untrusted binary document formats. Live severity, exploitation, and exposure counts are shown alongside this summary.
