shopify-scripts: Invalid memory write caused by incorrect upper bound in array_copy

Ok, here is a weird one! It only crashes in mruby, and can't be made to crash in mruby-engine as max memory possible to extend to is 256M which this requires more. The file is: values = 3,5,8 test = 1,6 results,= 1.2 values.each do |value| case value when test results 0x10000222d : movq %rdx, %ra...

Linux Kernel 2.6.22 < 3.9 - 'Dirty COW' 'PTRACE_POKEDATA' Race Condition Privilege Escalation (/etc/passwd Method)

// // This exploit uses the pokemon exploit of the dirtycow vulnerability // as a base and automatically generates a new passwd line. // The user will be prompted for the new password when the binary is run. // The original /etc/passwd file is then backed up to /tmp/passwd.bak // and overwrites t...

GStreamer Bad Plug-ins Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

GStreamer is a set of frameworks for handling streaming media.Bad Plug-ins is a decoding component. GStreamer Bad Plug-ins suffers from a buffer overflow vulnerability due to the program failing to adequately copy user-supplied data into a buffer. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to...
