Stack-based Buffer Overflow

memory HIGH

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.

How It Works

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold. The stack stores local variables, function parameters, and critical control information including the return address that tells the CPU where to resume execution after a function completes. When an attacker overflows a buffer, they can overwrite adjacent memory, including this return address.

The classic exploitation path involves carefully crafting input to overwrite the return address with a pointer to attacker-controlled code. Historically, attackers would inject shellcode directly into the overflowed buffer, then redirect execution to it. Modern defenses like Data Execution Prevention (DEP/NX) mark the stack as non-executable, forcing attackers to use Return-Oriented Programming (ROP) instead—chaining together existing code snippets ("gadgets") to perform malicious operations without injecting new code.

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) randomizes memory addresses to make exploitation harder, but attackers can defeat it through information disclosure vulnerabilities that leak memory addresses. Stack canaries—random values placed between buffers and control data—can detect overwrites, but may be bypassed through brute-force attacks or by carefully avoiding them in partial overwrites.

Impact

  • Arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the vulnerable process
  • Complete system compromise if the vulnerable process runs with elevated privileges (root/SYSTEM)
  • Memory corruption leading to crashes and denial of service
  • Bypass of authentication mechanisms by redirecting execution flow around security checks
  • Data theft or modification through code injection that accesses sensitive memory regions

Real-World Examples

The Morris Worm (1988) exploited a stack overflow in the Unix fingerd daemon, becoming one of the first major internet worms. The Code Red worm (2001) leveraged a stack overflow in Microsoft IIS (CVE-2001-0500) to compromise hundreds of thousands of web servers, demonstrating the massive scale of automated exploitation.

More recently, EternalBlue exploited stack corruption in Windows SMB (CVE-2017-0144), enabling the WannaCry and NotPetya ransomware outbreaks that caused billions in damage. The Heartbleed bug (CVE-2014-0160), while technically a heap-based read overflow, demonstrated how buffer handling errors remain prevalent even in security-critical software like OpenSSL.

Mitigation

  • Stack canaries (compile with -fstack-protector-all or equivalent) to detect overwrites before return
  • Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) to randomize memory locations
  • DEP/NX bit enforcement to prevent code execution from stack memory
  • Memory-safe string functions (use strncpy, snprintf, strlcpy instead of strcpy, sprintf, gets)
  • Compiler hardening flags (-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2, control-flow integrity)
  • Input validation with strict bounds checking on all externally-supplied data
  • Memory-safe languages (Rust, Go) for new development to eliminate the vulnerability class entirely

Stack-based buffer overflow in PJSIP pjproject's telnet CLI front-end allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to crash the affected application by sending history-recall input sequences (arrow keys) to the `handle_up_down()` function in `cli_telnet.c`. The accumulated redraw data - comprising cursor position, current buffer length, and recalled history entry length - can exceed the fixed-size `PJ_CLI_MAX_CMDBUF` stack buffer, leading to application termination. Exploitation requires the telnet CLI front-end to be explicitly enabled; applications that do not enable this feature are entirely unaffected, and no public exploit or KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

Stack-based buffer overflows in libxml2's xmlcatalog utility enable memory corruption and potential arbitrary code execution when the tool is invoked in its interactive --shell mode.
