MsMpEng: UIF decoder will spin forever processing sparse blocks

The UIF Universal Image Format is a proprietary file format used by the old shareware utility MagicISO. Microsoft have a dedicated unpacker for UIF that runs as SYSTEM on all filesystem activity !?!. The UIF format has an index structure at a fixed offset from the end of the file, with a pointer ...

CVE-2015-8888

CVE-2015-8888 affects the Qualcomm component in Android on Nexus 5. An integer overflow in the file app/aboot/aboot.c can be triggered by crafted block count and block size in a sparse header, allowing bypass of access restrictions. This is tied to Android prior to 2016-07-05 (Android bug 2882246...

nodejs-qs: Denial-of-Service Memory Exhaustion

The nodejs-qs module has the ability to create sparse arrays during parsing. By specifying a high index in a querystring parameter it is possible to create a large array that will eventually take up all the allocated memory of the running process, resulting in a crash...

[SECURITY] Fedora 21 Update: MUMPS-5.0.1-4.fc21

MUMPS implements a direct solver for large sparse linear systems, with a particular focus on symmetric positive definite matrices. It can operate on distributed matrices e.g. over a cluster. It has Fortran and C interfaces, and can interface with ordering tools such as Scotch...

Denial-of-Service Memory Exhaustion

Overview Versions prior to 1.0 of qs are affected by a denial of service condition. This condition is triggered by parsing a crafted string that deserializes into very large sparse arrays, resulting in the process running out of memory and eventually crashing. Recommendation Update to version 1.0...

UBUNTU-CVE-2014-7928

hydrogen.cc in Google V8, as used Google Chrome before 40.0.2214.91, does not properly handle arrays with holes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory corruption or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JavaScript code that triggers an array copy...

CVE-2014-7191

The qs module before 1.0.0 in Node.js does not call the compact function for array data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service memory consumption by using a large index value to create a sparse array...

Scientific Linux Security Update : rsync on SL5.x i386/x86_64

rsync is a program for synchronizing files over a network. A flaw was found in the way the rsync daemon handled the 'filter', 'exclude', and 'exclude from' options, used for hiding files and preventing access to them from rsync clients. A remote attacker could use this flaw to bypass those...

kernel: ext4: kernel panic when writing data to the last block of sparse file

Multiple off-by-one errors in the ext4 subsystem in the Linux kernel before 3.0-rc5 allow local users to cause a denial of service BUGON and system crash by accessing a sparse file in extent format with a write operation involving a block number corresponding to the largest possible 32-bit unsign...
