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

Text::CSV_XS versions from 1.46 before 1.65 for Perl have a use-after-free of bind_columns variables when skip_empty_rows skips an empty line in getline. With bind_columns, the parser writes each field into the caller's own scalar without taking a reference to it. When skip_empty_rows skips an empty last line, the parser frees the current field scalar without checking whether it is bound, dropping one reference from the application's variable. The "eof" mode does the same on any empty line. The variable is then freed while the application still references it, so later code uses freed memory and can crash the process.

No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vendor-rated CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 (Medium); however, our independent assessment assigns a higher impact vector of AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:H.

Heap out-of-bounds read and write in MuJS 1.3.6 through 1.3.8 allows attackers to corrupt process memory by supplying JavaScript that inflates a simple/dense array's length property and then invokes Array.prototype.sort, driving the internal Ap_sort_cmp and Ap_sort_swap helpers to index slots past the allocated heap buffer; the practical result is memory corruption and a process crash (CVSS 4.0 base 6.9, AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:P with high availability and low integrity impact). Publicly available exploit code exists, including a published proof-of-concept write-up demonstrating the array-length trigger, but the issue is not confirmed as actively exploited (no CISA KEV listing) and exploitation requires a target application embedding MuJS to execute attacker-controlled script that a victim loads or opens. Deployments that only ever run trusted, first-party JavaScript are not exposed, and MuJS 1.3.9 and later contain the fix; this is a genuine but moderate-priority memory-corruption flaw rather than an emergency.

Crafted LAS/LAZ point-cloud files parsed by LASzip through 3.5.0 can trigger an invalid free inside laszip_read_header(), crashing the host application and corrupting its heap. A file whose header declares an inflated variable-length-record (VLR) count while supplying truncated VLR data leaves internal attribute pointers uninitialized, so they are freed when the reader is destroyed through the C API (CWE-824, access of uninitialized pointer). The issue is Medium severity (source-provided CVSS 4.0 base 5.8; independently assessed as CVSS 3.1 AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H), meaning a victim or automated pipeline must open an attacker-supplied file - there is no network-reachable or auto-triggered path - and impact observed is crash plus heap corruption rather than confirmed code execution; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, although a public technical writeup of the bug exists.

Processing a malformed KWAJ archive with libmspack through 0.11alpha can free uninitialized heap pointers, crashing the host application and potentially providing an arbitrary-free memory corruption primitive. The flaw is unauthenticated but local/file-delivery in nature: an application linked against libmspack must invoke the KWAJ decompressor (kwajd_open) on attacker-supplied input, and the attacker must present a truncated, zero-length, or wrong-signature file that forces an early error return before the filename and extra pointers are initialized. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and the independent assessment rates this as a moderate, not top-priority, issue whose reliable outcome is a crash, with arbitrary-free escalation conditional on platform- and compiler-specific uninitialized stack values.

A heap out-of-bounds write in libsixel's GIF decoder (gif_init_frame() in src/fromgif.c) allows a crafted GIF file to corrupt heap memory in any application that links the library and decodes untrusted images.

The flaw affects Firefox versions prior to 158 and Firefox ESR versions prior to 153.5, and exploitation requires user interaction while being complicated by heap state and timing, resulting in only low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit code has been identified, and CISA's SSVC assessment rates exploitation as none with partial technical impact, making this a moderate-severity, low-priority issue despite the underlying memory-corruption class.

A use-after-free in Mozilla Firefox's Audio/Video Playback component allows unauthenticated remote attackers to cause partial memory disclosure and memory corruption when a victim loads crafted media content, affecting Firefox versions prior to 158 and Firefox ESR versions prior to 153.5. Exploitation requires user interaction - the victim must visit a malicious or compromised page whose crafted media is processed by the playback pipeline - so this is best suited to targeted or opportunistic drive-by delivery rather than automated mass exploitation (CISA SSVC Automatable=no, Technical Impact=partial). Vendor-released patches exist in Firefox 158 and Firefox ESR 153.5, and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis; impact is bounded by the CVSS:3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N) with no availability impact and no confirmed path to full code execution from the available data.

Use-after-free in Mozilla Firefox's DOM Animation component allows remote attackers to corrupt memory by getting a victim to render attacker-controlled web content in a browser build prior to Firefox 158. The flaw is unauthenticated (PR:N) but requires user interaction (UI:R), since the victim must visit or render the crafted page and let it exercise animation handling; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA's SSVC assessment records Exploitation=none with Automatable=no, so mass or automated exploitation is not expected. Impact is capped at partial confidentiality and integrity loss (CVSS 5.4, C:L/I:L/A:N), typically leaking data from freed memory or corrupting it, rather than a guaranteed full compromise.

Use-after-free in Mozilla Firefox's DOM Streams component allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to corrupt memory in the content process when a victim renders attacker-controlled web content, yielding limited information disclosure and limited data integrity impact (CVSS 5.4, C:L/I:L/A:N). All builds prior to Firefox 158, Firefox ESR 115.43, and Firefox ESR 153.5 are affected, and exploitation is gated by mandatory user interaction (UI:R) plus the heap-timing precision needed to win a use-after-free race. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, no CISA KEV listing applies, and CISA's SSVC assessment records Exploitation: none with Automatable: no, so this is not an active-exploitation priority despite the memory-corruption class.

Use-after-free in Mozilla Firefox's DOM: Core & HTML component allows remote attackers to trigger memory corruption when a victim loads attacker-controlled web content, requiring user interaction (UI:R) with no authentication or prior privileges needed (PR:N). Any default Firefox installation that browses to a malicious or compromised page is in scope, but the impact ceiling is limited to partial confidentiality and integrity loss with no availability impact (C:L/I:L/A:N), and Mozilla has already shipped fixes in Firefox 158, Firefox ESR 115.43, and Firefox ESR 153.5. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, exploitation is not automatable per SSVC (Exploitation: none, Automatable: no, Technical Impact: partial), and this is a moderate-severity, low-real-world-priority issue despite belonging to the memory-corruption class (CWE-416).

Memory-safety flaws in Mozilla Firefox's Graphics: Text component allow remote attackers who convince a user to load crafted web content to trigger a use-after-free, potentially exposing or corrupting data in the browser's process memory. Impact is bounded to limited confidentiality and integrity effects with no availability loss (CVSS 5.4, C:L/I:L/A:N), and exploitation is limited to unpatched builds (versions before Firefox 158, ESR before 115.43, and ESR before 153.5) that render the malicious payload during normal browsing. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the CISA SSVC assessment rates exploitation as 'none', making this a moderate memory-safety fix to fold into routine browser patching rather than an emergency action.

Use-after-free in Mozilla Firefox's Storage: IndexedDB component (CWE-416) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to corrupt browser memory when a victim loads attacker-controlled web content that drives the IndexedDB API, yielding partial confidentiality and integrity impact (CVSS 3.1 base 5.4, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N). The mandatory user interaction (UI:R) is the controlling barrier: the flaw cannot be triggered against a passive or idle target, and IndexedDB is enabled by default so no special configuration is required once a victim visits or interacts with a malicious or compromised page. Only Firefox builds prior to 158 and ESR builds prior to 115.43 and 153.5 are affected; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, CISA's SSVC rates exploitation as 'none' with non-automatable, partial technical impact, and the independent assessment keeps this at low real-world priority rather than an urgent threat.
