Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflows in NASA Common Data Format (CDF) allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code, as demonstrated using (1) an array index error in the ReadAEDRList64 function, and other errors in the (2) SearchForRecord_r_64, (3) LastRecord64, (4) CDFsel64, and other unspecified functions.

Desbordamiento múltiple de buffer en NASA Common Data Format (CDF)permite a atacantes dependientes del contexto ejecutar código a su elección, como es demostrado usando (1) un error en el array de indexación en la función ReadAEDRList64, y otros errores en(2) SearchForRecord_r_64, (3) LastRecord64, (4) CDFsel64,y otras funciones no especificadas.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in CDF might result in the execution of arbitrary code. Leon Juranic reported multiple heap-based buffer overflows for instance in the ReadAEDRList64(), SearchForRecord_r_64(), LastRecord64(), and CDFsel64() functions. Versions less than 3.3.0 are affected.
