Stack-based buffer overflow in fprintf in musl before 0.8.8 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string to an unbuffered stream such as stderr.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in fprintf in musl before 0.8.8 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string to. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Overflow (CWE-119), which allows attackers to corrupt memory to execute arbitrary code or crash the application. Stack-based buffer overflow in fprintf in musl before 0.8.8 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string to an unbuffered stream such as stderr. Affected products include: Etalabs Musl. Version information: before 0.8.8.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Use memory-safe languages or bounds-checking. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, stack canaries. Use safe string functions.
