GHSA-32v7-ghpr-c8hgHighCVSS 7.5
Mishandling of format strings in ncurses
🔗 CVE IDs covered (1)
📋 Description
ncurses exposes functions from the ncurses library which:
- Pass buffers without length to C functions that may write an arbitrary amount of data, leading to a buffer overflow. (instr, mvwinstr, etc)
- Passes rust &str to strings expecting C format arguments, allowing hostile input to execute a format string attack, which trivially allows writing arbitrary data to stack memory (functions in the printw family).
