Buffer Overflow

memory HIGH

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

How It Works

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions. This overwrites whatever data or code exists there, corrupting program state and potentially giving attackers control over execution flow.

Stack-based overflows are the most common variant. When a function allocates a fixed-size buffer on the stack and then copies user-controlled input without proper bounds checking, attackers can overflow past the buffer to overwrite the function's return address. When the function completes, instead of returning to legitimate code, execution jumps to attacker-specified memory containing malicious shellcode. Heap-based overflows work differently—they corrupt heap metadata like chunk size fields or free list pointers, leading to arbitrary memory writes when the allocator processes the corrupted structures.

Modern exploitation bypasses defensive mechanisms through techniques like Return-Oriented Programming (ROP), which chains together existing code snippets to avoid non-executable memory protections. Attackers may also use heap spraying to reliably position shellcode at predictable addresses, defeating address randomization.

Impact

  • Remote code execution — attacker gains ability to run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the vulnerable process
  • Privilege escalation — exploiting kernel or setuid program overflows to gain root/SYSTEM access
  • Denial of service — crashes and memory corruption that render systems unusable
  • Information disclosure — reading sensitive data from adjacent memory regions that should be inaccessible
  • Authentication bypass — overwriting security-critical variables like permission flags or user IDs

Real-World Examples

Fortinet FortiOS suffered a critical buffer overflow (CVE-2025-32756) that allowed unauthenticated remote attackers to execute code as root on firewalls and VPN gateways. Attackers actively exploited this to compromise enterprise network perimeters before patches were available.

The Slammer worm from 2003 exploited a stack overflow in Microsoft SQL Server, spreading to 75,000 hosts in ten minutes by sending a single malformed UDP packet that overwrote the return address with shellcode. No authentication was required.

OpenSSH historically contained a heap overflow in challenge-response authentication that allowed pre-authentication remote root compromise on Unix systems, demonstrating how memory corruption in privileged network services creates maximum impact scenarios.

Mitigation

  • Memory-safe languages — Rust, Go, and modern managed languages prevent buffer overflows by design through automatic bounds checking
  • Stack canaries — random values placed before return addresses that detect corruption before control transfer
  • Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) — randomizes memory locations making exploitation less reliable
  • Data Execution Prevention (DEP/NX) — marks memory regions as non-executable, preventing direct shellcode execution
  • Bounds checking — validate input sizes before copying, use safe functions like strncpy instead of strcpy
  • Fuzzing and static analysis — automated testing to discover overflows before deployment

Null-pointer dereference in the Linux kernel's btrfs LZO decompression path can crash the kernel when reading a crafted compressed extent, causing a denial-of-service. Kernels in the range starting at commit a6e66e6f8c1b685e11b778bef614480a9c1a5278 through the two fix commits are affected across multiple stable branches (5.15 and later). No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis; the EPSS score of 0.15% (5th percentile) confirms this is not yet being exploited at scale. Exploitation requires the attacker to introduce a malformed btrfs filesystem image with LZO-compressed extents that the kernel then reads.

Slab-out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel XFS real-time refcount B-tree (rtrefcountbt) subsystem allows a local attacker to trigger a kernel panic or potentially escalate privileges by mounting a crafted XFS filesystem image with the rtreflink feature set. The flaw is an off-by-one in on-disk root level validation - two check paths use '>' instead of '>=' - permitting an illegal bb_level that causes the cursor's bc_nlevels to exceed bc_maxlevels by one, indexing a 2-byte write 8 bytes past the end of a 216-byte slab object during the first B-tree operation. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing exists, but the guaranteed kernel panic and kernel heap write primitive make this a meaningful local risk on affected configurations.

Heap out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel's XFS log recovery path allows an attacker supplying a crafted XFS filesystem image to corrupt adjacent kernel slab memory during mount-time log replay. The flaw resides in xlog_recover_do_reg_buffer(), where a memcpy() copying dirty buffer regions is bounded solely by an ASSERT() that compiles away on production kernels (CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=n), leaving attacker-controlled offset and length values from the logged dirty bitmap completely unchecked against the buffer's actual allocated size. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit code has been identified, though KASAN-confirmed slab-out-of-bounds writes demonstrate the primitive is real and reliable on unpatched kernels.

Kernel memory corruption in the Linux SCTP stack allows a forged COOKIE_ECHO chunk to bypass validation of AUTH parameters when cookie authentication is disabled, letting an attacker who controls the echoed cookie bytes supply unchecked RANDOM lengths, HMAC identifiers, and CHUNKS lists. A forged RANDOM length yields out-of-bounds reads during key-vector construction, and a forged HMAC identifier drives a 32-byte write past a zero-length AUTH chunk - described by the reporter as a primitive for a local privilege escalation chain.

Out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's IPVS subsystem allows a low-privileged local process to trigger kernel memory corruption via ip_vs_nat_icmp(). The flaw arises because the embedded IP header length field (ihl) is not revalidated after skb_ensure_writable() is called on ICMP packets processed through IPVS NAT, enabling a local process to supply a larger ihl value than was originally validated, causing ip_send_check() to access memory beyond intended bounds. With a CVSS score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N), this represents a credible local privilege escalation path on any Linux system running IPVS in NAT mode.
