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

Heap buffer overflow in SAIL PSD codec allows remote code execution when processing malicious LAB-mode PSD files. Affects all SAIL versions prior to commit c930284 (HappySeaFox/sail). Attackers can achieve arbitrary code execution (CVSS 9.8: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) by triggering a mismatch between computed bytes-per-pixel (6 bytes for 3-channel 16-bit LAB) and allocated buffer size (5 bytes for BPP40_CIE_LAB format). Every pixel write deterministically overflows the heap buffer. EPSS data not available. Not listed in CISA KEV. Patch available via GitHub commit c930284445ea3ff94451ccd7a57c999eca3bc979.

openCryptoki is a PKCS#11 library and provides tooling for Linux and AIX. In versions 3.26.0 and below, the BER/DER decoding functions in the shared common library (asn1.c) accept a raw pointer but no buffer length parameter, and trust attacker-controlled BER length fields without validating them against actual buffer boundaries. All primitive decoders are affected: ber_decode_INTEGER, ber_decode_SEQUENCE, ber_decode_OCTET_STRING, ber_decode_BIT_STRING, and ber_decode_CHOICE. Additionally, ber_decode_INTEGER can produce integer underflows when the encoded length is zero. An attacker supplying a malformed BER-encoded cryptographic object through PKCS#11 operations such as C_CreateObject or C_UnwrapKey, token loading from disk, or remote backend communication can trigger out-of-bounds reads. This affects all token backends (Soft, ICA, CCA, TPM, EP11, ICSF) since the vulnerable code is in the shared common library.

### Summary Processing a malformed input containing a `<` character that is not followed by a `>` character anywhere in the remaining text with a SmartypantsRenderer will lead to Out of Bounds read or a panic. ### Details The `smartLeftAngle()` function in `html/smartypants.go:367-376` performs an out-of-bounds slice operation when processing a `<` character that is not followed by a `>` character anywhere in the remaining text. https://github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/blob/37c66b85d6ab025ba67a73ba03b7f3ef55859cca/html/smartypants.go#L367-L376 If the length of the slice is lower than its capacity, this leads to an extra byte of data read. If the length equals the capacity, this leads to a panic. ### PoC ```golang package main import ( "bytes" "fmt" "github.com/gomarkdown/markdown/html" ) func main() { src := []byte("<a") fmt.Printf("Input: %q (len=%d, cap=%d)\n", src, len(src), cap(src)) var buf bytes.Buffer sp := html.NewSmartypantsRenderer(html.Smartypants) sp.Process(&buf, src) // panics: slice bounds out of range fmt.Printf("Output: %q\n", buf.String()) } ``` ### Impact This vulnerability will lead to a Denial of Service / panic on the processing service. -- The Datadog Security Team

Arbitrary code execution in Adobe InCopy 20.5.2, 21.2 and earlier allows unauthenticated local attackers to execute malicious code with the victim's privileges through a specially crafted file. The vulnerability stems from an out-of-bounds write (CWE-787) triggering memory corruption. Exploitation requires the victim to open a malicious document, making this a viable social engineering vector. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the vulnerability's local attack vector and user interaction requirement moderately constrain immediate risk.
