Summary
flatcc through 0.6.4 contains an integer overflow (CWE-190) in the check_header function of its FlatBuffers verifier. The overflow guard is dead code, so it never runs. On 32-bit builds, an attacker can supply a crafted buffer offset that wraps the bounds check, causing an out-of-bounds read before the buffer and crashing the process. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.3 (MEDIUM).
