Common Weakness Enumeration

CWE-121

Allowed

Stack-based Buffer Overflow

Abstraction: Variant · Status: Draft

API response cwe.mitre.org

A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).

5732 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-02-26 18:31 – Updated: 2026-02-27 15:34
VLAI
Details

Golioth Firmware SDK version 0.10.0 prior to 0.22.0, fixed in commit 48f521b, contain a stack-based buffer overflow in Payload Utils. The golioth_payload_as_int() and golioth_payload_as_float() helpers copy network-supplied payload data into fixed-size stack buffers using memcpy() with a length derived from payload_size. The only length checks are guarded by assert(); in release builds, the asserts are compiled out and memcpy() may copy an unbounded payload_size. Payloads larger than 12 bytes (int) or 32 bytes (float) can overflow the stack, resulting in a crash/denial of service. This is reachable via LightDB State on_payload with a malicious server or MITM.

GHSA-5XF2-F6CH-6P8R

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-22 18:04 – Updated: 2026-06-05 14:33
VLAI
Summary
CodeChecker has a buffer overflow in the log command
Details

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.

#!/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.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-10 13:48 – Updated: 2025-04-10 13:48
VLAI
Summary
Helm Allows A Specially Crafted JSON Schema To Cause A Stack Overflow
Details

A Helm contributor discovered that a specially crafted JSON Schema within a chart can lead to a stack overflow.

Impact

A JSON Schema file within a chart can be crafted with a deeply nested chain of references, leading to parser recursion that can exceed the stack size limit and trigger a stack overflow.

Patches

This issue has been resolved in Helm v3.17.3.

Workarounds

Ensure that the JSON Schema within any charts loaded by Helm does not have a large number of nested references. These JSON Schema files are larger than 10 MiB.

For more information

Helm's security policy is spelled out in detail in our SECURITY document.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-01-12 00:30 – Updated: 2023-01-19 21:30
VLAI
Details

Multiple exploitable buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the PubNub message handler for the "cc" channel of Insteon Hub running firmware version 1012. Specially crafted commands sent through the PubNub service can cause a stack-based buffer overflow overwriting arbitrary data. An attacker should send an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability. In cmd sn_exw, at 0x9d01b310, the value for the cmd1 key is copied using strcpy to the buffer at $sp+0x2d0.This buffer is 100 bytes large, sending anything longer will cause a buffer overflow.

GHSA-5XW6-G598-2V26

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-02-12 00:01 – Updated: 2022-04-01 00:01
VLAI
Details

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Gerber Viewer gerber and excellon GCodeNumber parsing functionality of KiCad EDA 6.0.1 and master commit de006fc010. A specially-crafted gerber or excellon file can lead to code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

Mitigation MIT-10
Operation Build and Compilation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

  • Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking.
  • D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND [REF-1334] discusses canary-based detection in detail.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.

Mitigation
Implementation

Implement and perform bounds checking on input.

Mitigation
Implementation

Do not use dangerous functions such as gets. Use safer, equivalent functions which check for boundary errors.

Mitigation MIT-11
Operation Build and Compilation

Strategy: Environment Hardening

  • Run or compile the software using features or extensions that randomly arrange the positions of a program's executable and libraries in memory. Because this makes the addresses unpredictable, it can prevent an attacker from reliably jumping to exploitable code.
  • Examples include Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) [REF-58] [REF-60] and Position-Independent Executables (PIE) [REF-64]. Imported modules may be similarly realigned if their default memory addresses conflict with other modules, in a process known as "rebasing" (for Windows) and "prelinking" (for Linux) [REF-1332] using randomly generated addresses. ASLR for libraries cannot be used in conjunction with prelink since it would require relocating the libraries at run-time, defeating the whole purpose of prelinking.
  • For more information on these techniques see D3-SAOR (Segment Address Offset Randomization) from D3FEND [REF-1335].
