Integer Overflow Vulnerability in Tiny C Compiler by Favia Systems

CVE-2006-0635

What is CVE-2006-0635?

The Tiny C Compiler (TCC) version 0.9.23, developed by Favia Systems, contains a flaw in how it evaluates the expression 'i>sizeof(int)' when 'i' is assigned a value of -1. This can lead to misleading results, potentially resulting in integer overflow vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers in specific contexts, posing a risk to applications that use this version of the compiler.
