VAR-201609-0432
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:27The parse_string function in cjson.c in the cJSON library mishandles UTF8/16 strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a non-hex character in a JSON string, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. ESnetiPerf3 is a suite of tools for testing the maximum bandwidth in an IP network. A heap buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the JSON processing function of Esnetiperf version 3.1.1. ESnet iPerf3 is prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability. Failed attempts will likely cause a denial-of-service condition. ESnet iPerf3 3.1.1. and 3.1-1 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected

Drag nodes to arrange them. Double-click a related vulnerability to open it, or a source to visit its link. The Physics button on the left tunes the layout and the simulation; the legend at the bottom left hides or shows nodes by kind and by sighting type.
Experimental. This forecast is provided for visualization only and may change without notice. Do not use it for operational decisions.
Forecast uses a logistic model when the trend is rising, or an exponential decay model when the trend is falling. Fitted via linearized least squares.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
