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 BusyBox udhcpc6 (DHCPv6 client) allows network-adjacent attackers to achieve remote code execution or denial of service on embedded systems. The vulnerability stems from incorrect heap buffer allocation in option_to_env() when parsing D6_OPT_DNS_SERVERS options in DHCPv6 responses. Particularly dangerous on embedded devices lacking heap hardening protections. Fixed in commit 42202bf.

Out-of-bounds memory read in Linux kernel io_uring subsystem allows local authenticated users to leak kernel memory or trigger denial of service. The vulnerability exists in io_uring's fixed buffer import logic when registering zero-length buffer regions, causing the bvec skip logic to read beyond allocated slab memory. Patches available across stable kernel branches (6.18.22, 6.19.12, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.02% (4th percentile) indicates low likelihood of widespread exploitation. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV), no public POC identified at time of analysis.

Out-of-bounds memory read in the Linux kernel's tps53679 hwmon driver allows local low-privileged users interacting with a TI TPS53679-family voltage regulator on the I2C/PMBus to trigger a one-byte stack under-read. When i2c_smbus_read_block_data() returns a zero-length block read, tps53679_identify_chip() indexes buf[ret-1] (buf[-1]), reading one byte before the on-stack buffer, which can corrupt driver logic or leak adjacent stack data. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is negligible (0.02%), consistent with a hardware-dependent, non-remote kernel defect rather than an internet-facing threat.

Out-of-bounds memory read in Linux kernel's Intel PMU (Performance Monitoring Unit) handling allows local authenticated attackers with low privileges to potentially access sensitive kernel memory, modify data, or cause system crashes. The flaw occurs when perf auto counter reload groups contain software events, triggering an unsafe container_of operation that can dereference memory outside valid bounds. EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.02%, 4th percentile), and no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis. Patches available for kernel versions 6.18.22, 6.19.12, and 7.0.

A heap buffer overflow in the Linux kernel's wilc1000 WiFi driver allows local authenticated users to trigger memory corruption via crafted SSID scan requests. The driver miscalculates buffer size due to u8 integer overflow (330 bytes wrapping to 74), causing kmalloc to allocate 75 bytes while memcpy writes up to 331 bytes - a 256-byte overflow. Patches are available across multiple stable kernel branches (5.10.253, 5.15.203, 6.1.168, 6.6.134, 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, 7.0). EPSS score of 0.03% (9th percentile) suggests low likelihood of widespread exploitation, and CISA KEV does not list this CVE, indicating no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis.

Out-of-bounds read in Linux kernel iwlwifi driver allows adjacent network attackers to disclose sensitive kernel memory or trigger denial of service without authentication. The vulnerability affects the iwlwifi wireless driver's network detection match handler function, where insufficient packet length validation enables memcpy to read beyond allocated buffer boundaries. EPSS probability is low (0.02%, 7th percentile) and no active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV). Vendor patches available across multiple kernel stable branches (6.1.168, 6.6.134, 6.12.81, 6.18.22, 6.19.12, 7.0).
