#buffer_overflow

API security is so hot right now.

CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog has become a valuable repository of vulnerabilities to be patched. A pair of reports analyze the vulnerabilities under attack to understand the kind of threats organizations should be prioritizing.

A vulnerability has been found in Modbus Tools Modbus Slave up to 7.5.1 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file mbslave.exe of the component mbs File Handler. The manipulation leads to buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier VDB-217021 was assigned to this vulnerability.

A vulnerability was found in Modbus Tools Modbus Poll up to 9.10.0 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality of the file mbpoll.exe of the component mbp File Handler. The manipulation leads to buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-217022 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.

Certain NETGEAR devices are affected by a buffer overflow by an unauthenticated attacker. This affects RAX40 before 1.0.2.60, RAX35 before 1.0.2.60, R6400v2 before 1.0.4.122, R6700v3 before 1.0.4.122, R6900P before 1.3.3.152, R7000P before 1.3.3.152, R7000 before 1.0.11.136, R7960P before 1.4.4.94, and R8000P before 1.4.4.94.

A variety of initiatives — such as memory-safe languages and software bills of materials — promise more secure applications, but sustained improvements will require that vendors do much better, researchers agree.

The ACENet service in Sierra Wireless ALEOS before 4.4.9, 4.5.x through 4.9.x before 4.9.5, and 4.10.x through 4.13.x before 4.14.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow.

A buffer over-read was discovered in libntlmauth in Squid 2.5 through 5.6. Due to incorrect integer-overflow protection, the SSPI and SMB authentication helpers are vulnerable to reading unintended memory locations. In some configurations, cleartext credentials from these locations are sent to a client. This is fixed in 5.7.

PAC parsing in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) before 1.19.4 and 1.20.x before 1.20.1 has integer overflows that may lead to remote code execution (in KDC, kadmind, or a GSS or Kerberos application server) on 32-bit platforms (which have a resultant heap-based buffer overflow), and cause a denial of service on other platforms. This occurs in krb5_pac_parse in lib/krb5/krb/pac.c. Heimdal before 7.7.1 has "a similar bug."

The Nintendo NetworkBuffer class, as used in Animal Crossing: New Horizons before 2.0.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a large UDP packet that causes a buffer overflow, aka ENLBufferPwn. The victim must join a game session with the attacker. Other affected products include Mario Kart 7 before 1.2, Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe before 2.1.0, ARMS before 5.4.1, Splatoon, Splatoon 2 before 5.5.1, Splatoon 3 before late 2022, Super Mario Maker 2 before 3.0.2, and Nintendo Switch Sports before late 2022.
