Vulnerabilities 2

  • Medium 4.8

    Capstone doesn't check Skipdata length, leading to cs_insn.bytes heap buffer overflow

    Capstone is a disassembly framework. In versions 6.0.0-Alpha5 and prior, Skipdata length is not bounds-checked, so a user-provided skipdata callback can make cs_disasm/cs_disasm_iter memcpy more than 24 bytes into cs_insn.bytes, causing a heap buffer overflow…

    Capstone doesn't check vsnprintf return in SStream_concat, allows stack buffer underflow and overflow

    Capstone is a disassembly framework. In versions 6.0.0-Alpha5 and prior, an unchecked vsnprintf return in SStream_concat lets a malicious cs_opt_mem.vsnprintf drive SStream’s index negative or past the end, leading to a stack buffer underflow/overflow when th…
