A vulnerability was found in OpenBSD up to 6.1 (Operating System). It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function qsort
. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a resource consumption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-400. The product does not properly control the allocation and maintenance of a limited resource, thereby enabling an actor to influence the amount of resources consumed, eventually leading to the exhaustion of available resources. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:
The OpenBSD qsort() function is recursive, and not randomized, an attacker can construct a pathological input array of N elements that causes qsort() to deterministically recurse N/4 times. This allows attackers to consume arbitrary amounts of stack memory and manipulate stack memory to assist in arbitrary code execution attacks. This affects OpenBSD 6.1 and possibly earlier versions.
The bug was discovered 06/19/2017. The weakness was presented 06/19/2017 with Qualys (Website). The advisory is available at exploit-db.com.
