| Mbed TLS before 2.28.10 and 3.x before 3.6.3, in some cases of failed memory allocation or hardware errors, uses uninitialized stack memory to compose the TLS Finished message, potentially leading to authentication bypasses such as replays. |
| 7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.21 through 26.00 contain an An uninitialized memory disclosure vulnerability in the UEFI capsule (.scap) parser in 7-Zip. The OpenCapsule function allocates a heap buffer of attacker-declared CapsuleImageSize (up to 1 GiB) without zero-initialization, then reads the file contents into it with ReadStream_FALSE whose return value is silently discarded. If the file is truncated, the unread tail of the buffer retains uninitialized heap memory, which is then exposed as extracted file content via GetStream. Version 26.0.1 fixes the issue. |
| 7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.18 through 26.00 contain an uninitialized heap read in the SquashFS archive handler caused by a sparsely populated index array. In the SquashFS handler, _blockToNode is allocated with capacity for every metadata block but populated only when an inode crosses a block boundary, so a crafted image with few inodes spanning many blocks leaves most slots holding raw heap contents (the underlying allocator does not zero-initialize POD storage). When OpenDir looks up an attacker-influenced blockIndex (derived from the RootInode superblock field), it reads two of these uninitialized slots and passes them as the left/right bounds of a binary search over _nodesPos, which dereferences the midpoint without bounds checking; if the resulting value happens to match the search key, the returned index is used to read a full node struct from _nodes whose fields feed further directory parsing, forming a chained OOB read primitive that is heap-layout-dependent and not reliably triggerable. The SquashFS handler is enabled by default in stock 7z.dll and the issue triggers during Open() with no interaction beyond opening the file; impact is denial of service from wild-pointer dereference and potential heap information disclosure, with no write primitive. Version 26.01 fixes the issue. |
| Uninitialized Use in Media in Google Chrome prior to 149.0.7827.53 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium) |
| A use-of-uninitialized memory vulnerability exists in libxls 1.6.3 when parsing malformed XLS files. The issue is reachable via xls_parseWorkBook() and is triggered by uninitialized heap memory originating from the OLE layer (ole2_read). The flaw is detectable with MemorySanitizer (MSAN) and can lead to undefined behavior, incorrect parsing logic, or potential information disclosure. |
| Use of uninitialized resource within the AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF) could allow an attacker to read a uninitialized kernel memory resulting in loss of confidentiality or availability. |
| Vulnerability in the OpenSSH GSSAPI delta included in various Linux distributions. This vulnerability affects the GSSAPI patches added by various Linux distributions and does not affect the OpenSSH upstream project itself. The usage of sshpkt_disconnect() on an error, which does not terminate the process, allows an attacker to send an unexpected GSSAPI message type during the GSSAPI key exchange to the server, which will call the underlying function and continue the execution of the program without setting the related connection variables. As the variables are not initialized to NULL the code later accesses those uninitialized variables, accessing random memory, which could lead to undefined behavior. The recommended workaround is to use ssh_packet_disconnect() instead, which does terminate the process. The impact of the vulnerability depends heavily on the compiler flag hardening configuration. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfnetlink_log: initialize nfgenmsg in NLMSG_DONE terminator
When batching multiple NFLOG messages (inst->qlen > 1), __nfulnl_send()
appends an NLMSG_DONE terminator with sizeof(struct nfgenmsg) payload via
nlmsg_put(), but never initializes the nfgenmsg bytes. The nlmsg_put()
helper only zeroes alignment padding after the payload, not the payload
itself, so four bytes of stale kernel heap data are leaked to userspace
in the NLMSG_DONE message body.
Use nfnl_msg_put() to build the NLMSG_DONE terminator, which initializes
the nfgenmsg payload via nfnl_fill_hdr(), consistent with how
__build_packet_message() already constructs NFULNL_MSG_PACKET headers. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: rtnetlink: zero ifla_vf_broadcast to avoid stack infoleak in rtnl_fill_vfinfo
rtnl_fill_vfinfo() declares struct ifla_vf_broadcast on the stack
without initialisation:
struct ifla_vf_broadcast vf_broadcast;
The struct contains a single fixed 32-byte field:
/* include/uapi/linux/if_link.h */
struct ifla_vf_broadcast {
__u8 broadcast[32];
};
The function then copies dev->broadcast into it using dev->addr_len
as the length:
memcpy(vf_broadcast.broadcast, dev->broadcast, dev->addr_len);
On Ethernet devices (the overwhelming majority of SR-IOV NICs)
dev->addr_len is 6, so only the first 6 bytes of broadcast[] are
written. The remaining 26 bytes retain whatever was previously on
the kernel stack. The full struct is then handed to userspace via:
nla_put(skb, IFLA_VF_BROADCAST,
sizeof(vf_broadcast), &vf_broadcast)
leaking up to 26 bytes of uninitialised kernel stack per VF per
RTM_GETLINK request, repeatable.
The other vf_* structs in the same function are explicitly zeroed
for exactly this reason - see the memset() calls for ivi,
vf_vlan_info, node_guid and port_guid a few lines above.
vf_broadcast was simply missed when it was added.
Reachability: any unprivileged local process can open AF_NETLINK /
NETLINK_ROUTE without capabilities and send RTM_GETLINK with an
IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute carrying RTEXT_FILTER_VF. The kernel walks
each VF and emits IFLA_VF_BROADCAST, leaking 26 bytes of stack per
VF per request. Stack residue at this call site can include return
addresses and transient sensitive data; KASAN with stack
instrumentation, or KMSAN, will flag the nla_put() when reproduced.
Zero the on-stack struct before the partial memcpy, matching the
existing pattern used for the other vf_* structs in the same
function. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm_user: fix info leak in build_mapping()
struct xfrm_usersa_id has a one-byte padding hole after the proto
field, which ends up never getting set to zero before copying out to
userspace. Fix that up by zeroing out the whole structure before
setting individual variables. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: clear trailing padding in build_polexpire()
build_expire() clears the trailing padding bytes of struct
xfrm_user_expire after setting the hard field via memset_after(),
but the analogous function build_polexpire() does not do this for
struct xfrm_user_polexpire.
The padding bytes after the __u8 hard field are left
uninitialized from the heap allocation, and are then sent to
userspace via netlink multicast to XFRMNLGRP_EXPIRE listeners,
leaking kernel heap memory contents.
Add the missing memset_after() call, matching build_expire(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: initialize le_tmp64 in rtw_BIP_verify()
Initialize le_tmp64 to zero in rtw_BIP_verify() to prevent using
uninitialized data.
Smatch warns that only 6 bytes are copied to this 8-byte (u64)
variable, leaving the last two bytes uninitialized:
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/core/rtw_security.c:1308 rtw_BIP_verify()
warn: not copying enough bytes for '&le_tmp64' (8 vs 6 bytes)
Initializing the variable at the start of the function fixes this
warning and ensures predictable behavior. |
| pam_usb provides hardware authentication for Linux using ordinary removable media. Prior to 0.9.0, the pusb_pad_compare() function in src/pad.c only verified that the user-side pad (~/.pamusb/device.pad) could be read, but did not enforce that the system-side pad (the pad file on the USB device) was also present and readable. If the user-side pad was deleted or unreadable, the function returned a failure that was treated as non-fatal in certain code paths, allowing authentication to succeed without the USB device being verified. A local user can delete their own ~/.pamusb/device.pad to remove the USB device requirement and authenticate without the physical device. This vulnerability is fixed in 0.9.0. |
| In xsltCopyText in transform.c in libxslt 1.1.33, a pointer variable isn't reset under certain circumstances. If the relevant memory area happened to be freed and reused in a certain way, a bounds check could fail and memory outside a buffer could be written to, or uninitialized data could be disclosed. |
| In numbers.c in libxslt 1.1.33, an xsl:number with certain format strings could lead to a uninitialized read in xsltNumberFormatInsertNumbers. This could allow an attacker to discern whether a byte on the stack contains the characters A, a, I, i, or 0, or any other character. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mctp i2c: initialise event handler read bytes
Set a 0xff value for i2c reads of an mctp-i2c device. Otherwise reads
will return "val" from the i2c bus driver. For i2c-aspeed and
i2c-npcm7xx that is a stack uninitialised u8.
Tested with "i2ctransfer -y 1 r10@0x34" where 0x34 is a mctp-i2c
instance, now it returns all 0xff. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pseries/papr-hvpipe: Prevent kernel stack memory leak to userspace
The hdr variable is allocated on the stack and only hdr.version and
hdr.flags are initialized explicitly. Because the struct papr_hvpipe_hdr
contains reserved padding bytes (reserved[3] and reserved2[40]), these
could leak the uninitialized bytes to userspace after copy_to_user().
This patch fixes that by initializing the whole struct to 0. |
| The deploy-stub component in Panda3D versions up to and including 1.10.16 contains a denial of service vulnerability due to unbounded stack allocation. The deploy-stub executable allocates argv_copy and argv_copy2 using alloca() based directly on the attacker-controlled argc value without validation. Supplying a large number of command-line arguments can exhaust stack space and propagate uninitialized stack memory into Python interpreter initialization, resulting in a reliable crash and undefined behavior. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_IDLETIMER: reject rev0 reuse of ALARM timer labels
IDLETIMER revision 0 rules reuse existing timers by label and always call
mod_timer() on timer->timer.
If the label was created first by revision 1 with XT_IDLETIMER_ALARM,
the object uses alarm timer semantics and timer->timer is never initialized.
Reusing that object from revision 0 causes mod_timer() on an uninitialized
timer_list, triggering debugobjects warnings and possible panic when
panic_on_warn=1.
Fix this by rejecting revision 0 rule insertion when an existing timer with
the same label is of ALARM type. |
| Use of uninitialized resource in Windows Imaging Component allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information locally. |
