DescriptionCVE.org

An issue in the with_argv function (/unistd/mod.rs) of relibc commit 61f42d allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted input.

AnalysisAI

Uncontrolled resource consumption in relibc's with_argv function (commit 61f42d) enables remote unauthenticated attackers to crash applications by supplying a crafted argument payload, causing a Denial of Service. relibc is a Rust-based C standard library implementation for Redox OS; the affected function in /unistd/mod.rs fails to bound resource usage when parsing process arguments. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Per the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), no authentication and no special configuration are required by the scoring - in theory, any network-accessible service linked against the vulnerable relibc commit that passes attacker-controlled data through with_argv is exploitable without privileges. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The NVD CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) rates this as a 7.5 High severity, suggesting unauthenticated remote exploitation with no complexity barriers - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in malbork running a Redox-based service should treat this with urgency if they are running relibc-linked network daemons. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation An upstream fix has been submitted as merge request 989 (https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/relibc/-/merge_requests/989); however, a tagged or released patched version is not independently confirmed from the available data - this is a commit-level fix only. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all systems running Redox OS or relibc-dependent applications and classify by operational criticality; implement network segmentation to restrict untrusted inbound connections to affected systems. …
