Summary

xschem 2.9.9 through 3.4.7 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in read_xschem_file() in src/save.c that mishandles embedded-symbol records lacking a preceding instance. Attackers can supply a crafted schematic beginning with a "[" record, causing xschem to read and dereference memory below the instance array and crash.
