Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-08-30 18:43 – Updated: 2024-08-30 18:43
VLAI
Summary
freewvs's nested directory structure can interrupt scan
Details

Impact

A directory structure of more than 1000 nested directories can interrupt a freewvs scan due to Python's recursion limit and os.walk(). This can be problematic in a case where an administrator scans the dirs of potentially untrusted users.

Patches

This has been fixed in this commit by limiting the recursion to 500 directories: https://github.com/schokokeksorg/freewvs/commit/83a6b55c0435c69f447488b791555e6078803143

This issue was discovered by Hanno Böck.
