High
ceolin published GHSA-mh67-4h3q-p437 Feb 20, 2024

Package

zephyr (zephyr)

Affected versions

<= 3.5

Patched versions

None

Description

Summary

Possible buffer overflow in is_mount_point:
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/blob/main/subsys/fs/fuse_fs_access.c#L69

Details

If the string passed via path parameter is PATH_MAX long, sprintf will overflow dir_path by one byte.

static bool is_mount_point(const char *path)
{
    char dir_path[PATH_MAX];

    sprintf(dir_path, "%s", path);
    return strcmp(dirname(dir_path), "/") == 0;
}

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
