What is CVE-2022-46289?

Open Babel versions 3.1.1 and the master commit 530dbfa3 are affected by multiple out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in the ORCA format's nAtoms functionality. An attacker can exploit this by supplying a specially-crafted malformed file, which may lead to arbitrary code execution due to wrap-around issues in nAtoms calculation. The insufficient buffer allocation could enable the execution of malicious code, compromising the security and integrity of the affected system.
