The 1.x branch and the 2.x branch of `yajl` contain an integer overflow which leads to subsequent heap memory corruption when dealing with large (~2GB) inputs. The reallocation logic at `yajl_buf.c#L64` may result in the `need` 32bit integer wrapping to 0 when `need` approaches a value of 0x80000000 (i.e. ~2GB of data), which results in a reallocation of buf->alloc into a small heap chunk. These integers are declared as `size_t` in the 2.x branch of `yajl`, which practically prevents the issue from triggering on 64bit platforms, however this does not preclude this issue triggering on 32bit builds on which `size_t` is a 32bit integer. Subsequent population of this under-allocated heap chunk is based on the original buffer size, leading to heap memory corruption. This vulnerability mostly impacts process availability. Maintainers believe exploitation for arbitrary code execution is unlikely. A patch is available and anticipated to be part of yajl-ruby version 1.4.2. As a workaround, avoid passing large inputs to YAJL." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "HIGH", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.9, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-122: Heap-based Buffer Overflow" } ] }, { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-190: Integer Overflow or Wraparound" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/security/advisories/GHSA-jj47-x69x-mxrm", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/security/advisories/GHSA-jj47-x69x-mxrm" }, { "name": "https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/commit/7168bd79b888900aa94523301126f968a93eb3a6", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/commit/7168bd79b888900aa94523301126f968a93eb3a6" }, { "name": "https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/blob/7168bd79b888900aa94523301126f968a93eb3a6/ext/yajl/yajl_buf.c#L64", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/brianmario/yajl-ruby/blob/7168bd79b888900aa94523301126f968a93eb3a6/ext/yajl/yajl_buf.c#L64" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-jj47-x69x-mxrm", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
