GHSA-FV6J-M5GR-7R2X

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-03-11 15:31 – Updated: 2026-03-11 15:31
VLAI
Details

Easy Grade Pro 4.1.0.2 contains a file parsing logic flaw in the handling of proprietary .EGP gradebook files. By modifying specific fields at precise offsets within an otherwise valid .EGP file, an attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds memory read during parsing. This results in an unhandled access violation and application crash, leading to a local denial-of-service condition when the crafted file is opened by a user.

GHSA-FV86-C5HH-RVPJ

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-10-24 18:30 – Updated: 2025-10-24 18:30
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

zonefs: fix zonefs_iomap_begin() for reads

If a readahead is issued to a sequential zone file with an offset exactly equal to the current file size, the iomap type is set to IOMAP_UNWRITTEN, which will prevent an IO, but the iomap length is calculated as 0. This causes a WARN_ON() in iomap_iter():

[17309.548939] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 2137 at fs/iomap/iter.c:34 iomap_iter+0x9cf/0xe80 [...] [17309.650907] RIP: 0010:iomap_iter+0x9cf/0xe80 [...] [17309.754560] Call Trace: [17309.757078] [17309.759240] ? lock_is_held_type+0xd8/0x130 [17309.763531] iomap_readahead+0x1a8/0x870 [17309.767550] ? iomap_read_folio+0x4c0/0x4c0 [17309.771817] ? lockdep_hardirqs_on_prepare+0x400/0x400 [17309.778848] ? lock_release+0x370/0x750 [17309.784462] ? folio_add_lru+0x217/0x3f0 [17309.790220] ? reacquire_held_locks+0x4e0/0x4e0 [17309.796543] read_pages+0x17d/0xb60 [17309.801854] ? folio_add_lru+0x238/0x3f0 [17309.807573] ? readahead_expand+0x5f0/0x5f0 [17309.813554] ? policy_node+0xb5/0x140 [17309.819018] page_cache_ra_unbounded+0x27d/0x450 [17309.825439] filemap_get_pages+0x500/0x1450 [17309.831444] ? filemap_add_folio+0x140/0x140 [17309.837519] ? lock_is_held_type+0xd8/0x130 [17309.843509] filemap_read+0x28c/0x9f0 [17309.848953] ? zonefs_file_read_iter+0x1ea/0x4d0 [zonefs] [17309.856162] ? trace_contention_end+0xd6/0x130 [17309.862416] ? __mutex_lock+0x221/0x1480 [17309.868151] ? zonefs_file_read_iter+0x166/0x4d0 [zonefs] [17309.875364] ? filemap_get_pages+0x1450/0x1450 [17309.881647] ? __mutex_unlock_slowpath+0x15e/0x620 [17309.888248] ? wait_for_completion_io_timeout+0x20/0x20 [17309.895231] ? lock_is_held_type+0xd8/0x130 [17309.901115] ? lock_is_held_type+0xd8/0x130 [17309.906934] zonefs_file_read_iter+0x356/0x4d0 [zonefs] [17309.913750] new_sync_read+0x2d8/0x520 [17309.919035] ? __x64_sys_lseek+0x1d0/0x1d0

Furthermore, this causes iomap_readahead() to loop forever as iomap_readahead_iter() always returns 0, making no progress.

Fix this by treating reads after the file size as access to holes, setting the iomap type to IOMAP_HOLE, the iomap addr to IOMAP_NULL_ADDR and using the length argument as is for the iomap length. To simplify the code with this change, zonefs_iomap_begin() is split into the read variant, zonefs_read_iomap_begin() and zonefs_read_iomap_ops, and the write variant, zonefs_write_iomap_begin() and zonefs_write_iomap_ops.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-11-22 21:32 – Updated: 2024-11-22 21:32
VLAI
Details

Kofax Power PDF JP2 File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Kofax Power PDF. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JP2 files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22021.

Details

NVIDIA CUDA toolkit for all platforms contains a vulnerability in the cuobjdump binary, where a user could cause an out-of-bounds read by passing a malformed ELF file to cuobjdump. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to a partial denial of service.

Mitigation MIT-5
Implementation

Strategy: Input Validation

  • Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
  • When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
  • Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
  • To reduce the likelihood of introducing an out-of-bounds read, ensure that you validate and ensure correct calculations for any length argument, buffer size calculation, or offset. Be especially careful of relying on a sentinel (i.e. special character such as NUL) in untrusted inputs.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Language Selection

Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.

CAPEC-540: Overread Buffers

An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
