FKIE_CVE-2026-32941

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-20 04:16 - Updated: 2026-03-24 12:08
Summary
Sliver is a command and control framework that uses a custom Wireguard netstack. Versions 1.7.3 and below contain a Remote OOM (Out-of-Memory) vulnerability in the Sliver C2 server's mTLS and WireGuard C2 transport layer. The socketReadEnvelope and socketWGReadEnvelope functions trust an attacker-controlled 4-byte length prefix to allocate memory, with ServerMaxMessageSize allowing single allocations of up to ~2 GiB. A compromised implant or an attacker with valid credentials can exploit this by sending fabricated length prefixes over concurrent yamux streams (up to 128 per connection), forcing the server to attempt allocating ~256 GiB of memory and triggering an OS OOM kill. This crashes the Sliver server, disrupts all active implant sessions, and may degrade or kill other processes sharing the same host. The same pattern also affects all implant-side readers, which have no upper-bound check at all. The issue was not fixed at the the time of publication.

      "value": "Sliver es un framework de comando y control que utiliza una pila de red Wireguard personalizada. Las versiones 1.7.3 e inferiores contienen una vulnerabilidad remota de OOM (Out-of-Memory) en la capa de transporte mTLS y WireGuard C2 del servidor C2 de Sliver. Las funciones socketReadEnvelope y socketWGReadEnvelope conf\u00edan en un prefijo de longitud de 4 bytes controlado por el atacante para asignar memoria, con ServerMaxMessageSize permitiendo asignaciones \u00fanicas de hasta ~2 GiB. Un implante comprometido o un atacante con credenciales v\u00e1lidas puede explotar esto enviando prefijos de longitud fabricados a trav\u00e9s de flujos yamux concurrentes (hasta 128 por conexi\u00f3n), forzando al servidor a intentar asignar ~256 GiB de memoria y desencadenando una eliminaci\u00f3n OOM del sistema operativo. Esto bloquea el servidor de Sliver, interrumpe todas las sesiones de implantes activas y puede degradar o eliminar otros procesos que comparten el mismo host. El mismo patr\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n afecta a todos los lectores del lado del implante, que no tienen ninguna verificaci\u00f3n de l\u00edmite superior. El problema no se hab\u00eda solucionado en el momento de la publicaci\u00f3n."
