CVE-2018-8778

A integer underflow was found in the way Stringunpack decodes the unpacking format. An attacker, able to control the unpack format, could use this flaw to disclose arbitrary parts of the application's memory. Mitigation Vulnerable code when Stringunpacks argument is attacker controlled. In the...

Buffer under-read in String#unpack

Stringunpack receives format specifiers as its parameter, and can be specified the position of parsing the data by the specifier @. If a big number is passed with @, the number is treated as the negative value, and out-of-buffer read is occurred. So, if a script accepts an external input as the...
