Libsdl

First CVE: Oct 11, 2017Active for: 9 yearsTotal CVEs: 47
44.7
VTI Score
High

Libsdl is a cross-platform multimedia library that provides low-level graphics, audio, and input handling for game engines and media applications; its narrow product line—centered on the core Simple DirectMedia Layer library and specialized extensions such as SDL_Image and SDL_TTF—sits deep in the software supply chain and is embedded in a broad range of downstream games and applications. The vendor's vulnerability exposure concentrates in memory-safety weaknesses endemic to C-based graphics and format-parsing code: out-of-bounds reads and writes, integer overflows, double-free conditions, and heap-based buffer overflows that arise when processing image data, font files, and untrusted input streams. Defenders should treat vulnerabilities in this library as high-priority for remediation in dependent applications, since a single flaw can affect every game or tool that links the library; however, the patching burden typically falls on downstream vendors rather than on Libsdl itself. Live severity, exploitation, and exposure counts are shown alongside this summary.
