Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-11-23 03:31 – Updated: 2024-11-23 03:31Foxit PDF Reader AcroForm Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Foxit PDF Reader. 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 handling of AcroForms. 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 buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-25267.

GHSA-HR85-Q7C6-3J62
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-07-03 09:30 – Updated: 2025-12-18 21:31In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: aqc111: fix error handling of usbnet read calls
Syzkaller, courtesy of syzbot, identified an error (see report [1]) in aqc111 driver, caused by incomplete sanitation of usb read calls' results. This problem is quite similar to the one fixed in commit 920a9fa27e78 ("net: asix: add proper error handling of usb read errors").
For instance, usbnet_read_cmd() may read fewer than 'size' bytes, even if the caller expected the full amount, and aqc111_read_cmd() will not check its result properly. As [1] shows, this may lead to MAC address in aqc111_bind() being only partly initialized, triggering KMSAN warnings.
Fix the issue by verifying that the number of bytes read is as expected and not less.

"details": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: usb: aqc111: fix error handling of usbnet read calls\n\nSyzkaller, courtesy of syzbot, identified an error (see report [1]) in\naqc111 driver, caused by incomplete sanitation of usb read calls\u0027\nresults. This problem is quite similar to the one fixed in commit\n920a9fa27e78 (\"net: asix: add proper error handling of usb read errors\").\n\nFor instance, usbnet_read_cmd() may read fewer than \u0027size\u0027 bytes,\neven if the caller expected the full amount, and aqc111_read_cmd()\nwill not check its result properly. As [1] shows, this may lead\nto MAC address in aqc111_bind() being only partly initialized,\ntriggering KMSAN warnings.\n\nFix the issue by verifying that the number of bytes read is\nas expected and not less.\n\n[1] Partial syzbot report:\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in is_valid_ether_addr include/linux/etherdevice.h:208 [inline]\nBUG: KMSAN: uninit-value in usbnet_probe+0x2e57/0x4390 drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1830\n is_valid_ether_addr include/linux/etherdevice.h:208 [inline]\n usbnet_probe+0x2e57/0x4390 drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1830\n usb_probe_interface+0xd01/0x1310 drivers/usb/core/driver.c:396\n call_driver_probe drivers/base/dd.c:-1 [inline]\n really_probe+0x4d1/0xd90 drivers/base/dd.c:658\n __driver_probe_device+0x268/0x380 drivers/base/dd.c:800\n...\n\nUninit was stored to memory at:\n dev_addr_mod+0xb0/0x550 net/core/dev_addr_lists.c:582\n __dev_addr_set include/linux/netdevice.h:4874 [inline]\n eth_hw_addr_set include/linux/etherdevice.h:325 [inline]\n aqc111_bind+0x35f/0x1150 drivers/net/usb/aqc111.c:717\n usbnet_probe+0xbe6/0x4390 drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1772\n usb_probe_interface+0xd01/0x1310 drivers/usb/core/driver.c:396\n...\n\nUninit was stored to memory at:\n ether_addr_copy include/linux/etherdevice.h:305 [inline]\n aqc111_read_perm_mac drivers/net/usb/aqc111.c:663 [inline]\n aqc111_bind+0x794/0x1150 drivers/net/usb/aqc111.c:713\n usbnet_probe+0xbe6/0x4390 drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1772\n usb_probe_interface+0xd01/0x1310 drivers/usb/core/driver.c:396\n call_driver_probe drivers/base/dd.c:-1 [inline]\n...\n\nLocal variable buf.i created at:\n aqc111_read_perm_mac drivers/net/usb/aqc111.c:656 [inline]\n aqc111_bind+0x221/0x1150 drivers/net/usb/aqc111.c:713\n usbnet_probe+0xbe6/0x4390 drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1772",

Mitigation MIT-5
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
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.
