Vulnerabilities

A weakness has been identified in Cesanta Mongoose up to 7.20. This vulnerability affects the function handle_opt of the file /src/net_builtin.c of the component TCP Option Handler. This manipulation of the argument optlen causes infinite loop. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. Upgrading to version 7.21 is able to resolve this issue. Upgrading the affected component is advised. VulDB has contacted the vendor early and they confirmed quickly, that this issue got fixed already.

A vulnerability has been found in Cesanta Mongoose up to 7.20. This affects the function mg_tls_recv_cert of the file mongoose.c of the component TLS 1.3 Handler. Such manipulation of the argument pubkey leads to heap-based buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 7.21 mitigates this issue. The name of the patch is 0d882f1b43ff2308b7486a56a9d60cd6dba8a3f1. It is advisable to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was contacted early, responded in a very professional manner and quickly released a fixed version of the affected product.

A security vulnerability has been detected in Cesanta Mongoose up to 7.20. This affects the function getpeer of the file /src/net_builtin.c of the component TCP Sequence Number Handler. The manipulation leads to improper verification of source of a communication channel. The attack may be initiated remotely. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is reported as difficult. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Null pointer dereference in add_ca_certs() in Cesanta Mongoose before 7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via TLS initialization where SSL_CTX_get_cert_store() returns NULL.

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the WebSocket component of Mongoose 7.5 thru 7.17. By sending a specially crafted WebSocket request, an attacker can cause the application to crash. If downstream vendors integrate this component improperly, the issue may lead to a buffer overflow.

Use of Out-of-range Pointer Offset vulnerability in Cesanta Mongoose Web Server v7.14 allows to write a NULL byte value beyond the memory space dedicated for the hostname field.

An issue in Cesanta mjs 2.20.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the mjs_do_gc function in the mjs.c file.

An issue in Cesanta mjs 2.20.0 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the mjs_destroy function in the msj.c file.

Cesanta MJS 2.20.0 has a getprop_builtin_foreign out-of-bounds read if a Built-in API name occurs in a substring of an input string.

Cesanta mjs v2.20.0 was discovered to contain a function pointer hijacking vulnerability via the function mjs_get_ptr(). This vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted input.

Buffer overflow in mg_resolve_from_hosts_file in Mongoose 6.18, when reading from a crafted hosts file.

Due to a failure in validating the length of a provided MQTT_CMD_PUBLISH parsed message with a variable length header, Cesanta Mongoose, an embeddable web server, version 7.10 is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the default configuration. Version 7.9 and prior does not appear to be vulnerable. This issue is resolved in version 7.11.

The HTTP server in Mongoose before 7.10 accepts requests containing negative Content-Length headers. By sending a single attack payload over TCP, an attacker can cause an infinite loop in which the server continuously reparses that payload, and does not respond to any other requests.

An issue found in Cesanta MJS v.1.26 allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via the mjs_execute function in mjs.c.

Cesanta MJS v2.20.0 was discovered to contain a SEGV vulnerability via mjs_ffi_cb_free at src/mjs_ffi.c. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Cesanta MJS v2.20.0 was discovered to contain a SEGV vulnerability via ffi_cb_impl_wpwwwww at src/mjs_ffi.c. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Cesanta MJS v2.20.0 was discovered to contain a SEGV vulnerability via gc_sweep at src/mjs_gc.c. This vulnerability can lead to a Denial of Service (DoS).

Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Cesanta mJS 1.26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted .js file to mjs_set_errorf.

An issue was discovered in mjs(mJS: Restricted JavaScript engine), ES6 (JavaScript version 6). There is stack buffer overflow at 0x7fffe9049390.
