Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
Arm Whois 3.11 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by overwriting the structured exception handler. Attackers can craft a malicious input file with a 672-byte offset to overwrite the nSEH and SEH pointers, enabling code execution through exception handler hijacking.
AnalysisAI
Arm Whois 3.11 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by overwriting the structured exception handler. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.6), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Copy without Size Check (CWE-120), which allows attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory. Arm Whois 3.11 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by overwriting the structured exception handler. Attackers can craft a malicious input file with a 672-byte offset to overwrite the nSEH and SEH pointers, enabling code execution through exception handler hijacking. Affected products include: Armcode Arm Whois.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Always validate buffer sizes before copy operations. Use bounded functions (strncpy, snprintf). Enable compiler protections.
