{"id":"CVE-2009-0689","details":"Array index error in the (1) dtoa implementation in dtoa.c (aka pdtoa.c) and the (2) gdtoa (aka new dtoa) implementation in gdtoa/misc.c in libc, as used in multiple operating systems and products including in FreeBSD 6.4 and 7.2, NetBSD 5.0, OpenBSD 4.5, Mozilla Firefox 3.0.x before 3.0.15 and 3.5.x before 3.5.4, K-Meleon 1.5.3, SeaMonkey 1.1.8, and other products, allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large precision value in the format argument to a printf function, which triggers incorrect memory allocation and a heap-based buffer overflow during conversion to a floating-point number.","modified":"2026-04-10T03:40:38.285260Z","published":"2009-07-01T13:00:01Z","related":["MGASA-2016-0013","SUSE-SU-2016:0257-1","SUSE-SU-2016:2958-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:10394-1"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://lists.apple.com/archives/security-announce/2010//Mar/msg00001.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0311.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-0312.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/37431"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/37682"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/37683"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/38066"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/38977"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/advisories/39001"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://secunia.com/secunia_research/2009-35/"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDVSA-2009:294"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDVSA-2009:330"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2009/mfsa2009-59.html"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/gdtoa/misc.c"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-915-1"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2009/3297"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2009/3299"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2009/3334"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2010/0094"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2010/0648"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2010/0650"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/63"},{"type":"EVIDENCE","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/35510"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/gdtoa/gdtoaimp.h"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://securitytracker.com/id?1022478"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/lib/libc/gdtoa/misc.c"},{"type":"FIX","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/35510"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516396"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516862"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.apple.com/archives/security-announce/2010/Jun/msg00003.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2009-11/msg00004.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2010-06/msg00001.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/69"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/71"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/72"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/73"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/75"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/76"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/77"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/78"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://securityreason.com/achievement_securityalert/81"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-272909-1"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4077"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4225"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.opera.com/support/kb/view/942/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2009-1601.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2010-0153.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA-2010-0154.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/507977/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/507979/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/508417/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/508423/100/0/threaded"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2018/11/msg00001.html"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://oval.cisecurity.org/repository/search/definition/oval%3Aorg.mitre.oval%3Adef%3A6528"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://oval.cisecurity.org/repository/search/definition/oval%3Aorg.mitre.oval%3Adef%3A9541"}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
