A vulnerability has been identified in Nucleus 4 (All versions < V4.1.0), Nucleus NET (All versions), Nucleus ReadyStart (All versions), Nucleus Source Code (versions including affected IPv6 stack), VSTAR (versions including affected IPv6 stack). The function that processes the Hop-by-Hop extension header in IPv6 packets and its options lacks any checks against the length field of the header, allowing attackers to put the function into an infinite loop by supplying arbitrary length values.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-09-13 09:30 – Updated: 2024-09-19 15:30
VLAI
Details
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libfs: fix infinite directory reads for offset dir
After we switch tmpfs dir operations from simple_dir_operations to simple_offset_dir_operations, every rename happened will fill new dentry to dest dir's maple tree(&SHMEM_I(inode)->dir_offsets->mt) with a free key starting with octx->newx_offset, and then set newx_offset equals to free key + 1. This will lead to infinite readdir combine with rename happened at the same time, which fail generic/736 in xfstests(detail show as below).
- create 5000 files(1 2 3...) under one dir
- call readdir(man 3 readdir) once, and get one entry
- rename(entry, "TEMPFILE"), then rename("TEMPFILE", entry)
- loop 2~3, until readdir return nothing or we loop too many times(tmpfs break test with the second condition)
We choose the same logic what commit 9b378f6ad48cf ("btrfs: fix infinite directory reads") to fix it, record the last_index when we open dir, and do not emit the entry which index >= last_index. The file->private_data now used in offset dir can use directly to do this, and we also update the last_index when we llseek the dir file.
[brauner: only update last_index after seek when offset is zero like Jan suggested]

GHSA-Q98G-HXG3-268C
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-08-22 21:31 – Updated: 2025-11-04 00:31
VLAI
Details
There is a HIGH severity vulnerability affecting the CPython "zipfile" module.
When iterating over names of entries in a zip archive (for example, methods of "zipfile.ZipFile" like "namelist()", "iterdir()", "extractall()", etc) the process can be put into an infinite loop with a maliciously crafted zip archive. This defect applies when reading only metadata or extracting the contents of the zip archive. Programs that are not handling user-controlled zip archives are not affected.
