Out of bounds read in dync

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Aug 25, 2021 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jun 13, 2023

Package

cargo dync (Rust)

Affected versions

< 0.5.0

Patched versions

0.5.0

Description

VecCopy::data is created as a Vec of u8 but can be used to store and retrieve elements of different types leading to misaligned access.

The issue was resolved in v0.5.0 by replacing data being stored by Vec with a custom managed pointer. Elements are now stored and retrieved using types with proper alignment corresponding to original types.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
