#buffer_overflow

A heap-based buffer overflow issue was discovered in libjpeg-turbo in h2v2_merged_upsample_internal() function of jdmrgext.c file. The vulnerability can only be exploited with 12-bit data precision for which the range of the sample data type exceeds the valid sample range, hence, an attacker could craft a 12-bit lossless JPEG image that contains out-of-range 12-bit samples. An application attempting to decompress such image using merged upsampling would lead to segmentation fault or buffer overflows, causing an application to crash.

Zyxel has released software updates to address two critical security flaws affecting select firewall and VPN products that could be abused by remote attackers to achieve code execution. Both the flaws – CVE-2023-33009 and CVE-2023-33010 – are buffer overflow vulnerabilities and are rated 9.8 out of 10 on the CVSS scoring system. A brief description of the two issues is below - CVE-2023-33009 -

Red Hat Security Advisory 2023-3269-01 - The binutils packages provide a collection of binary utilities for the manipulation of object code in various object file formats. It includes the ar, as, gprof, ld, nm, objcopy, objdump, ranlib, readelf, size, strings, strip, and addr2line utilities. Issues addressed include buffer overflow and null pointer vulnerabilities.

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the ID processing function in Zyxel ATP series firmware versions 4.32 through 5.36 Patch 1, USG FLEX series firmware versions 4.50 through 5.36 Patch 1, USG FLEX 50(W) firmware versions 4.25 through 5.36 Patch 1, USG20(W)-VPN firmware versions 4.25 through 5.36 Patch 1, VPN series firmware versions 4.30 through 5.36 Patch 1, ZyWALL/USG series firmware versions 4.25 through 4.73 Patch 1, could allow an unauthenticated attacker to cause denial-of-service (DoS) conditions and even a remote code execution on an affected device.

Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input ('Classic Buffer Overflow') vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation MELSEC iQ-F Series CPU modules allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition or execute malicious code on a target product by sending specially crafted packets. A system reset of the product is required for recovery from a denial of service (DoS) condition and malicious code execution.

A buffer overflow in the component hl.exe of Valve Half-Life up to 5433873 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges by supplying crafted parameters.

The `Toybox.Cryptography.Cipher.initialize` API method in CIQ API version 3.0.0 through 4.1.7 does not validate its parameters, which can result in buffer overflows when copying data. A malicious application could call the API method with specially crafted parameters and hijack the execution of the device's firmware.

The `Toybox.Ant.GenericChannel.enableEncryption` API method in CIQ API version 3.2.0 through 4.1.7 does not validate its parameter, which can result in buffer overflows when copying various attributes. A malicious application could call the API method with specially crafted object and hijack the execution of the device's firmware.

The `Toybox.GenericChannel.setDeviceConfig` API method in CIQ API version 1.2.0 through 4.1.7 does not validate its parameter, which can result in buffer overflows when copying various attributes. A malicious application could call the API method with specially crafted object and hijack the execution of the device's firmware.

The GarminOS TVM component in CIQ API version 1.0.0 through 4.1.7 is vulnerable to various buffer overflows when loading binary resources. A malicious application embedding specially crafted resources could hijack the execution of the device's firmware.
