CVE-2015-0235 – Exim GHOST (glibc gethostbyname) Buffer Overflow

https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2015-0235

Heap-based buffer overflow in the __nss_hostname_digits_dots function in glibc 2.2, and other 2.x versions before 2.18, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the (1) gethostbyname or (2) gethostbyname2 function, aka "GHOST." Desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica en la función __nss_hostname_digits_dots en glibc 2.2, y otras versiones 2.x anteriores a 2.18, permite a atacantes dependientes de contexto ejecutar código arbitrario a través de vectores relacionados con la funciín (1) gethostbyname o (2) gethostbyname2, también conocido como 'GHOST.' A heap-based buffer overflow was found in glibc's __nss_hostname_digits_dots() function, which is used by the gethostbyname() and gethostbyname2() glibc function calls. A remote attacker able to make an application call either of these functions could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application. The industrial managed switch series 852 from WAGO is affected by multiple vulnerabilities such as old software components embedded in the firmware. • https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/35951 https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/36421 https://github.com/aaronfay/CVE-2015-0235-test https://github.com/makelinux/CVE-2015-0235-workaround https://github.com/sUbc0ol/CVE-2015-0235 https://github.com/mikesplain/CVE-2015-0235-cookbook https://github.com/tobyzxj/CVE-2015-0235 https://github.com/adherzog/ansible-CVE-2015-0235-GHOST http://blogs.sophos.com/2015/01/29/sophos-products-and-the-ghost-vulnerability-affecting-linux http:/ • CWE-122: Heap-based Buffer Overflow CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write •
