GHSA-55F3-X82M-6229
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-14 03:37 – Updated: 2022-05-14 03:37
VLAI
Details
An issue was discovered in Adobe Acrobat Reader 2018.009.20050 and earlier versions, 2017.011.30070 and earlier versions, 2015.006.30394 and earlier versions. This vulnerability occurs because of computation that reads data that is past the end of the target buffer; the computation is part of the image conversion engine that handles Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF). A successful attack can lead to sensitive data exposure.

GHSA-55F8-PRFX-MFVW
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-11 18:35 – Updated: 2025-11-26 18:31
VLAI
Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Decrement TID on RX peer frag setup error handling
Currently, TID is not decremented before peer cleanup, during error handling path of ath12k_dp_rx_peer_frag_setup(). This could lead to out-of-bounds access in peer->rx_tid[].
Hence, add a decrement operation for TID, before peer cleanup to ensures proper cleanup and prevents out-of-bounds access issues when the RX peer frag setup fails.
Found during code review. Compile tested only.
Severity
7.1 (High)

Mitigation MIT-5
Implementation
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
- To reduce the likelihood of introducing an out-of-bounds read, ensure that you validate and ensure correct calculations for any length argument, buffer size calculation, or offset. Be especially careful of relying on a sentinel (i.e. special character such as NUL) in untrusted inputs.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design
Strategy: Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
CAPEC-540: Overread Buffers
An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
