{"id":"GHSA-32v7-ghpr-c8hg","summary":"Mishandling of format strings in ncurses","details":"ncurses exposes functions from the ncurses library which:\n* Pass buffers without length to C functions that may write an arbitrary amount of data, leading to a buffer overflow. (instr, mvwinstr, etc)\n* Passes rust &str to strings expecting C format arguments, allowing hostile input to execute a format string attack, which trivially allows writing arbitrary data to stack memory (functions in the printw family).\n","aliases":["CVE-2019-15547","CVE-2019-15548","GHSA-g7r5-x7cr-vm3v","RUSTSEC-2019-0006"],"modified":"2023-11-08T04:01:13.981343Z","published":"2021-08-25T20:58:47Z","database_specific":{"nvd_published_at":null,"cwe_ids":["CWE-134"],"severity":"HIGH","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2021-08-18T17:45:13Z"},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-15547"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/RustSec/advisory-db/issues/106"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/jeaye/ncurses-rs/issues/172"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/jeaye/ncurses-rs"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2019-0006.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ncurses","ecosystem":"crates.io","purl":"pkg:cargo/ncurses"},"ranges":[{"type":"SEMVER","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"last_affected":"5.101.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2021/08/GHSA-32v7-ghpr-c8hg/GHSA-32v7-ghpr-c8hg.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"}]}
