Code injection

The NetBSD qsort function is recursive, and not randomized, an attacker can construct a pathological input array of N elements that causes qsort to deterministically recurse N/4 times. This allows attackers to consume arbitrary amounts of stack memory and manipulate stack memory to assist in...

Denial Of Service (DoS) Through Embedded C Library

The nokogiri gem is using libxml2 which is vulnerable to CVE-2016-3627. CVE-2016-3627 is a denial of service DoS vulnerability. It is possible because the xmlStringGetNodeList and xmlParserEntityCheck functions fail to detect a recursive loop when it is used in recovery mode, causing stack...

CVE-2017-9048

libxml2 20904-GITv2.9.4-16-g0741801 is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow. The function xmlSnprintfElementContent in valid.c is supposed to recursively dump the element content definition into a char buffer 'buf' of size 'size'. At the end of the routine, the function may strcat two more...

An integer overflow leads to a buffer overflow...

Recursive DNS - The Achilles Heel Of Advanced Threats

We all know what happens whenever anyone or anything tries to access a resource on the Internet. It all starts with a DNS request that translates a URL www.akamai.com into an IP address 104.97.77.24: Now if we dive a little deeper into the DNS request flow we can see the requester make a request ...
