A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Arduino JSON up to 4.4. This affects the function extractFrom
of the file Internals/QuotedString.cpp. The manipulation with the input value \\\0
leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
The extractFrom function in Internals/QuotedString.cpp in Arduino JSON before 4.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a JSON string with a \ (backslash) followed by a terminator, as demonstrated by "\\\0", which triggers a buffer overflow and over-read.
The weakness was presented 06/22/2015 by Giancarlo Canales (Website). The advisory is shared at github.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2015-4590 since 06/16/2015. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are known, but no exploit is available.
Upgrading to version 4.5 eliminates this vulnerability.
