Memory Corruption

memory HIGH

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space.

How It Works

Memory corruption occurs when a program writes data beyond the boundaries of allocated memory regions or accesses memory in unintended ways, violating the integrity of the process's address space. Attackers exploit these flaws by carefully crafting inputs that trigger the corruption, allowing them to overwrite critical data structures like function pointers, return addresses, or object metadata. The corrupted memory then causes the program to execute attacker-controlled code or leak sensitive information when that memory is subsequently accessed.

Several common variants exist with distinct mechanisms. Buffer overflows write past array boundaries, overwriting adjacent memory. Use-after-free bugs occur when code accesses memory after it's been deallocated, allowing attackers to reallocate that space with malicious data. Type confusion tricks programs into treating objects as different types, causing field accesses at incorrect offsets that can leak data or enable writes to arbitrary locations. Double-free vulnerabilities free the same memory twice, corrupting heap metadata structures that allocate memory, ultimately enabling arbitrary writes when the corrupted allocator is used again.

The typical attack flow involves reconnaissance to identify the corruption primitive, heap manipulation to position target structures in predictable locations, triggering the vulnerability to corrupt specific memory, and finally leveraging the corruption to hijack control flow or extract data. Modern exploits often chain multiple primitives together, using information leaks to defeat ASLR before achieving code execution.

Impact

  • Arbitrary code execution: Execute attacker-supplied machine code or reuse existing code (ROP/JOP) with full privileges of the vulnerable process
  • Privilege escalation: Exploit kernel memory corruption to escalate from user to root/SYSTEM privileges
  • Information disclosure: Leak cryptographic keys, passwords, authentication tokens, or bypass ASLR by reading memory layout
  • Denial of service: Crash critical services by corrupting essential data structures
  • Sandbox escape: Break out of browser or application isolation boundaries to compromise the host system

Real-World Examples

The Chrome V8 JavaScript engine has suffered numerous type confusion vulnerabilities where JavaScript objects are mishandled, allowing attackers to achieve browser compromise through malicious websites. CVE-2021-30551 exemplified this, enabling remote code execution via crafted web content.

Windows kernel vulnerabilities like CVE-2020-17087 demonstrated use-after-free exploitation, where local attackers triggered memory reuse in the kernel to escalate privileges to SYSTEM. This was actively exploited in targeted attacks before patching.

The Heartbleed vulnerability (CVE-2014-0160) in OpenSSL showed devastating information disclosure through a buffer over-read, leaking 64KB chunks of server memory containing private keys, passwords, and session tokens across millions of servers.

Mitigation

  • Memory-safe languages: Use Rust, Go, or Swift for new code to eliminate entire classes of corruption bugs
  • Sanitizers in development: Deploy AddressSanitizer (ASAN) and MemorySanitizer (MSAN) during testing to detect corruption immediately
  • Fuzzing with coverage feedback: Continuously fuzz parsers and input handlers using AFL++ or libFuzzer to discover corruption bugs
  • Control Flow Integrity (CFI): Enable compiler-based CFI to restrict indirect call targets and prevent ROP
  • Exploit mitigations: Deploy stack canaries, ASLR, DEP/NX, and shadow stacks on all platforms
  • Sandboxing: Isolate vulnerable components using seccomp, pledge, or process isolation to contain successful exploits

Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's MediaTek power-domain (pmdomain) driver stems from a use-after-free in scpsys_get_bus_protection_legacy(), where a device node is released via of_node_put() before the error path dereferences it in dev_err_probe(). Affecting kernels using the MediaTek SCPSYS legacy bus-protection code path (typically ARM/ARM64 MediaTek SoC platforms), a local low-privileged attacker able to influence the probe error path could corrupt freed kernel memory, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS exploitation probability is negligible (0.02%, 4th percentile).

Local privilege escalation and memory corruption in the Linux kernel's topcliff-pch (pch_spi) SPI master driver arises from a use-after-free triggered when the driver is unbound, because DMA buffers are released before the driver's transfer queue is flushed. An attacker with the ability to unbind the device can cause the freed DMA buffers to be accessed by in-flight SPI transfers, yielding CWE-416 memory corruption with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8). There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS probability is negligible (0.02%), consistent with an obscure, hardware-specific driver rather than a broadly exploitable flaw.

Out-of-bounds kernel memory write in the Linux kernel device-mapper ioctl subsystem (dm-ioctl) affects the retrieve_status function, where an unchecked align_ptr() call on the output pointer can advance it past the end of the caller-supplied buffer, causing a wrapped-around 'remaining' length calculation and subsequent overflow writes. Exploitation requires local privileges to issue device-mapper ioctls (root/CAP_SYS_ADMIN), and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is negligible at 0.03% (9th percentile). The upstream maintainers explicitly note the flaw has no practical security impact because only root can trigger it and standard libraries (libdevmapper, devicemapper-rs) use 8-byte-aligned buffers that never overshoot.

Remote code execution in 7-Zip versions 26.00 and earlier is achievable via a crafted NTFS image that triggers a heap buffer overflow in the archive handler, overwriting an adjacent C++ object's vtable pointer to hijack control flow.
