GHSA-5xf2-f6ch-6p8r: CodeChecker has a buffer overflow in the log command

### Summary CodeChecker versions up to 6.26.1 contain a buffer overflow vulnerability in the internal `ldlogger` library, which is executed by the `CodeChecker log` command. ### Details Unsafe usage of `strcpy()` function in the internal `ldlogger` library allows attackers to trigger a buffer overflow by supplying crafted inputs from the command line. Specifically, the destination buffer is stack-allocated with a fixed size of 4096 bytes, while `strcpy()` is called without any length checks, enabling an attacker to overrun the buffer. ### PoC Example script is included below to illustrate how this vulnerability can be exploited. ```bash #!/bin/bash export CC_LOGGER_DEF_DIRS=1; payload=''; for i in $(seq 1 4090); do payload+='A'; done CodeChecker log -b "/very/long/path/to/$payload/gcc a.c" -o compilation.json ``` ### Impact Any environment where the vulnerable `CodeChecker log` command is executed with untrusted user input is affected by this vulnerability.

GHSA-23hg-53q6-hqfg: ImageMagick BlobStream Forward-Seek Under-Allocation

**Reporter:** Lumina Mescuwa **Product:** ImageMagick 7 (MagickCore) **Component:** `MagickCore/blob.c` (Blob I/O - BlobStream) **Tested:** 7.1.2-0 (source tag) and 7.1.2-1 (Homebrew), macOS arm64, clang-17, Q16-HDRI **Impact:** Heap out-of-bounds **WRITE** (attacker-controlled bytes at attacker-chosen offset) → memory corruption; potential code execution --- ## Executive Summary For memory-backed blobs (**BlobStream**), [`SeekBlob()`](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/blob/3fcd081c0278427fc0e8ac40ef75c0a1537792f7/MagickCore/blob.c#L5106-L5134) permits advancing the stream **offset** beyond the current end without increasing capacity. The subsequent [`WriteBlob()`](https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/blob/3fcd081c0278427fc0e8ac40ef75c0a1537792f7/MagickCore/blob.c#L5915-L5938) then expands by **`quantum + length`** (amortized) instead of **`offset + length`**, and copies to `data + offset`. When `offset ≫ extent`, the copy targets memory beyond the allocatio...

GHSA-58p5-r2f6-g2cj: Pixar OpenUSD Sdf_PathNode Module Use-After-Free Vulnerability Leading to Potential Remote Code Execution

### Summary A Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability has been discovered in the Sdf_PathNode module of the Pixar OpenUSD library. This issue occurs during the deletion of the Sdf_PrimPathNode object in multi-threaded environments, where freed memory is accessed. This results in segmentation faults or bus errors, allowing attackers to potentially exploit the vulnerability for remote code execution (RCE). By using a specially crafted .usd file, an attacker could gain control of the affected system. The vulnerability has been confirmed in multiple OpenUSD tools, including sdfdump, usdtree, usdcat, and sdffilter. ### Patches This is fixed with [commit 0d74f31](https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD/commit/0d74f31fe64310791e274e587c9926335e9db9db), with the fix available in OpenUSD 25.08 and onwards. ### Details The issue is a Use-After-Free vulnerability in the Sdf_PathNode destruction process, specifically in Sdf_PrimPathNode::~Sdf_PrimPathNode(). When multiple threads attempt to...
