Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. Starting in version 4.4.0 and prior to version 4.14.3, a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Wazuh Database synchronization module (wdb_delta_event.c). The SQL query construction logic allows for an integer underflow when calculating the remaining buffer size. This occurs because the code incorrectly aggregates the return value of snprintf. If a specific database synchronization payload exceeds the size of the query buffer (2048 bytes), the size calculation wraps around to a massive integer, effectively removing bounds checking for subsequent writes. This allows an attacker to corrupt the stack, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) or potentially RCE. Version 4.14.3 fixes the issue.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in Wazuh 4.4.0 through 4.14.2 allows authenticated remote attackers with high privileges to trigger an integer underflow in the database synchronization module, causing denial of service or potential code execution. The vulnerability exists in SQL query construction logic within wdb_delta_event.c where improper size calculations on buffers exceeding 2048 bytes can corrupt the stack. A patch is available in version 4.14.3.
Technical ContextAI
A buffer overflow occurs when data written to a buffer exceeds its allocated size, potentially overwriting adjacent memory and corrupting program state. This vulnerability is classified as Stack-based Buffer Overflow (CWE-121).
RemediationAI
Use memory-safe languages or bounds-checked functions. Enable ASLR, DEP/NX, and stack canaries. Apply vendor patches promptly.
