Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow')

An issue was discovered in MBed OS 6.16.0. During processing of HCI packets, the software dynamically determines the length of the packet data by reading 2 bytes from the packet data. A buffer is then allocated to contain the entire packet, the size of which is calculated as the length of the packet body determined earlier and the header length. If the allocate fails because the specified packet is too large, no exception handling occurs and hciTrSerialRxIncoming continues to write bytes into the 4-byte large temporary header buffer, leading to a buffer overflow. This can be leveraged into an arbitrary write by an attacker. It is possible to overwrite the pointer to the buffer that is supposed to receive the contents of the packet body but which couldn't be allocated. One can then overwrite the state variable used by the function to determine which step of the parsing process is currently being executed. This advances the function to the next state, where it proceeds to copy data to that arbitrary location. The packet body is then written wherever the corrupted data pointer is pointing.Show less

An issue was discovered in MBed OS 6.16.0. During processing of HCI packets, the software dynamically determines the length of the packet header by looking up the identifying first byte and matching it against a table of possible lengths. The initial parsing function, hciTrSerialRxIncoming does not drop packets with invalid identifiers but also does not set a safe default for the length of unknown packets' headers, leading to a buffer overflow. This can be leveraged into an arbitrary write by an attacker. It is possible to overwrite the pointer to a not-yet-allocated buffer that is supposed to receive the contents of the packet body. One can then overwrite the state variable used by the function to determine which state of packet parsing is currently occurring. Because the buffer is allocated when the last byte of the header has been copied, the combination of having a bad header length variable that will never match the counter variable and being able to overwrite the state variable with the resulting buffer overflow can be used to advance the function to the next step while skipping the buffer allocation and resulting pointer write. The next 16 bytes from the packet body are then written wherever the corrupted data pointer is pointing.Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu: add missing size check in amdgpu_debugfs_gprwave_read() Avoid a possible buffer overflow if size is larger than 4K. (cherry picked from commit f5d873f5825b40d886d03bd2aede91d4cf002434)Show less

Multiple vulnerabilities in the Cisco Discovery Protocol and Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) implementations for Cisco IP Phone Series 68xx/78xx/88xx could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to execute code remotely or cause a reload of an affected IP phone. These vulnerabilities are due to missing checks when the IP phone processes a Cisco Discovery Protocol or LLDP packet. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a malicious Cisco Discovery Protocol or LLDP packet to the targeted IP phone. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute code on the affected IP phone or cause it to reload unexpectedly, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.Note: Cisco Discovery Protocol is a Layer 2 protocol. To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker must be in the same broadcast domain as the affected device (Layer 2 adjacent).Cisco has released software updates that address these vulnerabilities. There are no workarounds that address these vulnerabilities.Show less

miniupnp before 4c90b87, as used in Bitcoin Core before 0.12 and other products, lacks checks for snprintf return values, leading to a buffer overflow and significant data leak, a different vulnerability than CVE-2019-12107. In Bitcoin Core before 0.12, remote code execution was possible in conjunction with CVE-2015-6031 exploitation.Show less

Multiple Buffer overflows in the MMS Client in MZ Automation LibIEC61850 before commit 1f52be9ddeae00e69cd43e4cac3cb4f0c880c4f0 allow a malicious server to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via the MMS IdentifyResponse message.Show less

Multiple Buffer overflows in the MMS Client in MZ Automation LibIEC61850 before commit ac925fae8e281ac6defcd630e9dd756264e9c5bc allow a malicious server to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via the MMS FileDirResponse message.Show less

Stack-based memcpy buffer overflow in the ngap_handle_pdu_session_resource_setup_response routine in OpenAirInterface CN5G AMF <= 2.0.0 allows a remote attacker with access to the N2 interface to carry out denial of service against the AMF and potentially execute code by sending a PDU Session Resource Setup Response with a suffciently large FailedToSetupList IE.Show less

A buffer overflow in the ngap_amf_handle_pdu_session_resource_setup_response function of oai-cn5g-amf up to v2.0.0 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a PDU Session Resource Setup Response with an empty Response Item list.Show less

A vulnerability in the Cisco&nbsp;Discovery Protocol implementation for Cisco&nbsp;IOS XR Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause the Cisco&nbsp;Discovery Protocol process to reload on an affected device. This vulnerability is due to a heap buffer overflow in certain Cisco&nbsp;Discovery Protocol messages. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a malicious Cisco&nbsp;Discovery Protocol packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a heap overflow, which could cause the Cisco&nbsp;Discovery Protocol process to reload on the device. The bytes that can be written in the buffer overflow are restricted, which limits remote code execution.Note: Cisco&nbsp;Discovery Protocol is a Layer 2 protocol. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be in the same broadcast domain as the affected device (Layer 2 adjacent). &nbsp;Cisco&nbsp;has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.This advisory is part of the September 2022 release of the Cisco&nbsp;IOS XR Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication.
