Summary

Adaguc-server is an open source geographical information system to visualize, combine, compare and share real-time meteorological, climatological and remote sensing data via OGC standards. Versions prior to 7.2.2 crash with a memory-safety fault when it parses a GeoJSON document whose geometry contains a malformed coordinate. The coordinate parser in `adagucserverEC/CConvertGeoJSON.cpp` indexes `pt.u.array.values[0]` and `pt.u.array.values[1]` and uses `polygon.u.array.length` as a loop bound without first validating the JSON node type or the coordinate length. A coordinate that is an empty array, a one-element array, a scalar, or `null` leads to an out-of-bounds heap read or a NULL pointer dereference. The same unchecked pattern is present in four geometry branches: `Polygon`, `LineString`, `MultiLineString` and `MultiPolygon`. The vulnerable parser runs whenever the server processes a local GeoJSON file, either a configured GeoJSON dataset or a GeoJSON file exposed through the `AutoResource` feature and requested by an unauthenticated WMS request. A crafted GeoJSON file reliably crashes the backend process that handles that request. Version 7.2.2 patches the vulnerability.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of KNMI/adaguc-server published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
