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

Exploitation requires an authenticated local session AND high privileges (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, base 6.7), so this is strictly a post-compromise step used by an already-privileged attacker rather than an initial-access or unauthenticated vector. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, CISA SSVC records exploitation as none and automatable as no, and no KEV listing applies; this is a genuine but moderate-priority issue rather than a top-tier emergency, and vendor-released patches fully remove the condition.

Denial of service in the Microsoft Windows DNS Server role allows a network-reachable attacker who holds valid low-privilege credentials to crash or destabilize the DNS service on unpatched Windows Server releases from 2012 through 2025, including Server Core installations. Per the assessed CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), exploitation requires authorization on the target - this is explicitly an 'authorized attacker' scenario, not anonymous remote abuse - and the resulting impact is availability only, with no code execution, no data access, and no integrity loss. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and CISA's SSVC rates the issue non-automatable with nonexistent observed exploitation, making this a moderate-priority availability bug rather than a critical RCE-class threat.

A local information-disclosure flaw in the Windows Common Log File System (CLFS) kernel driver allows an attacker who already holds low-privileged local access on a Windows host to trigger a buffer over-read and read beyond the bounds of a kernel buffer, exposing memory contents (CVSS 5.5, C:H/I:N/A:N). Exploitation requires local authenticated access (AV:L/PR:L) with no user interaction, but does not yield code execution or system compromise; the attack surface is strictly local. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, CISA's SSVC assessment rates exploitation as 'none' and automatable as 'no', and Microsoft has released patched builds addressing the affected CLFS driver versions.

An out-of-bounds read in the Windows Portable Device MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) driver lets a locally authenticated attacker disclose memory contents from the host, rated CVSS 5.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). The attacker must already hold a local account or code-execution foothold on the machine and must be able to present a portable device (physical, emulated, or over a bridged interface) that issues crafted MTP requests to the vulnerable driver; no victim user interaction is required. Exploitation status is limited: CISA SSVC reports no known or expected exploitation and no public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, so this is a routine patch-cycle priority rather than an emergency. A vendor patch is available and the affected build list spans Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2012 through 2025.

Physical attackers can read out-of-bounds kernel memory through the Windows RNDIS (Remote NDIS) driver, which mishandles attacker-supplied RNDIS protocol data presented over USB. Affected systems are Windows 10 (1607, 1809, 21H2, 22H2), Windows 11 (23H2 through 26H2), and Windows Server 2012 through 2025, including Server Core installations. The CVSS vector is AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N (4.6), so no authentication or user interaction is needed once the attacker has physical access, but remote or network-based exploitation is not possible and impact is confined to information disclosure with no code execution, integrity, or availability effect; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA SSVC records Exploitation: none with Automatable: no, so this is a genuinely low-priority issue despite the HIGH confidentiality rating. Practical risk is limited to kiosks, shared or unattended machines, and evil-maid scenarios where an untrusted party can plug in a device.

Elevation of privilege in the Microsoft Bluetooth Driver affecting Windows 10 (1607, 1809, 21H2, 22H2), Windows 11 (23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H1, 26H2), and Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025 stems from an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) that a physically present attacker can trigger with no authentication and no user interaction, achieving high impact across confidentiality, integrity and availability (CVSS 6.8). The decisive constraint is the CVSS attack vector AV:P: exploitation requires physical or local hardware-level access to deliver crafted input to the Bluetooth stack, so the flaw is not remotely reachable and CISA's SSVC framework rates it as non-automatable with no observed exploitation. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and KEV/EPSS signals do not indicate active exploitation; residual risk is concentrated in lost, stolen, unattended, or otherwise physically accessible endpoints rather than in network-exposed systems.

An out-of-bounds read in the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) Core Library allows an authenticated, low-privileged local attacker to disclose sensitive information from the affected host. Only systems running vulnerable builds of Windows 10, Windows 11, and their corresponding Windows Server editions are affected, and exploitation requires that the attacker already holds a local interactive session on the target machine (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, base score 5.5). There is no remote attack path: per CISA's SSVC decision framework, exploitation is assessed as none and the vulnerability is not automatable, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis; the confidentiality-only impact and the local-vector prerequisite keep this a moderate-priority issue, most relevant on shared, multi-user, or Remote Desktop hosts where untrusted users can obtain local sessions.

An out-of-bounds read in the Windows Error Reporting (WER) component of affected Windows client and server builds lets an attacker who already holds low-privileged local access on the host read memory beyond the bounds of an allocated buffer, resulting in disclosure of potentially sensitive information from the affected process's address space. The flaw carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) and is classified under CWE-125, meaning the sole impact is confidentiality - the bug cannot by itself modify data or cause a denial of service. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; CISA's SSVC assessment records Exploitation as "none" and Automatable as "no", and CISA KEV does not list this issue. This is a genuinely moderate, low-priority issue rather than an urgent threat: the attack surface is local-only, requires existing authenticated access and the ability to drive the vulnerable code path through WER, and yields information disclosure rather than code execution.

Local information disclosure in the Windows NTFS driver lets an authenticated, low-privileged user trigger an out-of-bounds read that exposes kernel memory contents on unpatched Windows 10, Windows 11 and Windows Server builds. The issue is rated CVSS 5.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), meaning it is only reachable after an attacker already has a local foothold on the host, and it yields confidentiality impact alone with no integrity or availability effect. Microsoft has published a vendor patch, CISA's SSVC evaluation records no exploitation and no automation, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so this is a genuine but low-urgency issue that matters mainly as a post-compromise or chained-attack primitive rather than a standalone remote threat.

Heap corruption in the Windows Kernel lets an attacker who already holds local, low-privileged code execution on a target host escalate to higher privileges; the authoritative assessment scores this CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, meaning full confidentiality, integrity and availability impact on the compromised machine, while NVD's published base score of 5.5 reflects availability impact only. All supported Windows 10 (21H2 and 22H2), Windows 11 (23H2 through 26H2) and Windows Server 2022/2025 builds below the vendor-fixed levels are affected, and exploitation requires an existing local, authenticated foothold as a low-privileged user (PR:L, AV:L) with no user interaction (UI:N) and low complexity (AC:L) beyond reaching the vulnerable kernel code path. Microsoft has shipped patches per its update guide, CISA's SSVC decision framework records exploitation as none, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, so this is a moderate-priority post-compromise escalation primitive rather than an initial-access or remotely reachable flaw.
