    Buffer Overflow in GNU C Library Affects Older Versions

    Date: April 17, 2024

    CVE: CVE-2024-2961

    Vulnerability Type: Out-of-bounds Write

    CWE: [[CWE-787]]

    Sources: SecurityVulnerability.io, NVD Mitigation blog

    Issue Summary

    A critical buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the GNU C Library's iconv function when converting charsets to certain Chinese Extended encodings. This flaw occurs when converting strings to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set in versions prior to 2.40, potentially leading to application crashes or memory corruption.

    Technical Key Findings

    The vulnerability stems from improper boundary checks during character set conversion, allowing up to 4 bytes of overflow. This could enable attackers to execute arbitrary code or disrupt program operation by manipulating memory locations adjacent to the buffer.

    Vulnerable Products

    All versions of GNU C Library older than 2.40 are susceptible. (That's potentially 24 years of a buffer overflow presence in the glibc!)

    Impact Assessment

    The vulnerability poses a high risk, potentially affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of systems utilizing the affected library versions. There is no evidence of active exploitation yet, but the severity of potential impacts warrants prompt attention.

    Patches or Workaround

    The GNU C Library has released patches for this vulnerability. Users are advised to update to version 2.40 or later. If you are unable to (or it's not available on your OS yet), you can mitigate this issue by disabling the affected charsets in gconv.

    Check if you are vulnerable

    // The first line of the linker version info should include the version of glibc (either as GLIBC or GNU libc).

    ldd --version

    // Check if the vulnerable encodings are enabled in iconv:

    iconv -l | grep -E 'CN-?EXT'

    If they are, you will see an output like:

    ISO-2022-CN-EXT//
    ISO2022CNEXT//
