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

Denial of service (and potential code execution) in FreeRDP RDP clients before 3.21.0 lets a malicious or compromised RDP server overflow a client-side heap buffer during ClearCodec band decoding. By supplying crafted band coordinates that drive writes past the destination surface buffer, the server crashes the connecting client and may corrupt the heap. Publicly available exploit code exists; EPSS is low (0.15%, 35th percentile) and the issue is not in CISA KEV, indicating no confirmed active exploitation.

Denial of service and potential remote code execution in the FreeRDP client (all versions prior to 3.21.0) stems from a heap buffer overflow in the RDPGFX ClearCodec decoder (libfreerdp/codec/clear.c). A malicious or compromised RDP server can send crafted residual data that triggers out-of-bounds heap writes during color output on the connecting client, crashing it and potentially corrupting the heap. Publicly available exploit code exists and the GitHub advisory marks it exploitable, but the EPSS probability is low (0.15%, 35th percentile) and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Denial of service and potential heap corruption in the FreeRDP client (all versions prior to 3.21.0) arises in the graphics pipeline's gdi_SurfaceToSurface path, where destination-rectangle clamping does not match the actual copy size. A malicious or compromised RDP server can drive a connected client into a heap buffer overflow, reliably crashing it and, depending on allocator state and heap layout, opening a path to code execution. Publicly available exploit code exists, but EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.13%, 33rd percentile) and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.

Client-side heap buffer overflow in FreeRDP's ClearCodec decoder (versions prior to 3.21.0) lets a malicious or compromised RDP server corrupt a connecting client's memory. When `glyphData` is present, `clear_decompress` invokes `freerdp_image_copy_no_overlap` without validating the destination rectangle, producing an out-of-bounds read/write via crafted RDPGFX surface updates. Publicly available exploit code exists (per the GitHub Security Advisory), but it is not listed in CISA KEV and EPSS is low (0.13%, 33th percentile); confirmed impact is denial of service with a residual, allocator-dependent code-execution risk.

Client-side heap buffer overflow in FreeRDP before version 3.21.0 lets a malicious or compromised RDP server crash connecting clients and potentially corrupt heap memory. The flaw lives in the planar codec's `freerdp_bitmap_decompress_planar`, which fails to bound-check decoded bitmap dimensions before RLE decompression, yielding a denial-of-service with a speculative code-execution path. Publicly available exploit code exists via the GitHub Security Advisory, though EPSS exploitation probability remains low (0.15%) and it is not on CISA KEV.

Buffer overflow in Totolik LR350 firmware allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve full system compromise through malicious SSID parameters in the wizard configuration endpoint. Public exploit code is available for this vulnerability, and no patch has been released, leaving deployed devices at immediate risk. The flaw requires valid credentials but enables complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability violations with network-level access.
