Multiple stack-based and heap-based buffer overflows in Network Audio System (NAS) 1.9.3 allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) display command argument to the ProcessCommandLine function in server/os/utils.c; (2) ResetHosts function in server/os/access.c; (3) open_unix_socket, (4) open_isc_local, (5) open_xsight_local, (6) open_att_local, or (7) open_att_svr4_local function in server/os/connection.c; the (8) AUDIOHOST environment variable to the CreateWellKnownSockets or (9) AmoebaTCPConnectorThread function in server/os/connection.c; or (10) unspecified vectors related to logging in the osLogMsg function in server/os/aulog.c.
AnalysisAI
Multiple stack-based and heap-based buffer overflows in Network Audio System (NAS) 1.9.3 allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) display. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.6), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. Public exploit code 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. Multiple stack-based and heap-based buffer overflows in Network Audio System (NAS) 1.9.3 allow local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) display command argument to the ProcessCommandLine function in server/os/utils.c; (2) ResetHosts function in server/os/access.c; (3) open_unix_socket, (4) open_isc_local, (5) open_xsight_local, (6) open_att_local, or (7) open_att_svr4_local function in server/os/connection.c; the (8) AUDIOHOST environment variable to the CreateWellKnownSockets or (9) AmoebaTCPConnectorThread function in server/os/connection.c; or (10) unspecified vectors related to logging in the osLogMsg function in server/os/aulog.c. Affected products include: Canonical Ubuntu Linux, Radscan Network Audio System.
RemediationAI
A vendor patch is available. Apply the latest security update as soon as possible. Use memory-safe languages or bounds-checking. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, stack canaries. Use safe string functions.
