{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2018-13843","details":"** DISPUTED ** An issue has been found in HTSlib 1.8. It is a memory leak in bgzf_getline in bgzf.c. NOTE: the software maintainer's position is that the \"failure to free memory\" can be fixed in applications that use the HTSlib library (such as test/test_bgzf.c in the original report) and is not a library issue.","modified":"2018-07-10T18:29:00Z","published":"2018-07-10T18:29:00Z","withdrawn":"2025-06-23T15:53:13Z","references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-13843"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/samtools/htslib/issues/731#issue-339662537"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-13843"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"htslib","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/htslib"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.2.0~rc3-1","0.2.0~rc3-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2018/UBUNTU-CVE-2018-13843.json"}},{"package":{"name":"htslib","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/htslib"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.2.1-1","1.2.1-2","1.2.1-2ubuntu1","1.2.1-2ubuntu1+esm1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2018/UBUNTU-CVE-2018-13843.json"}},{"package":{"name":"htslib","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/htslib"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.5-1","1.5-4ubuntu1","1.6-3ubuntu1","1.6-4","1.6-4build1","1.7-2","1.7-2ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2018/UBUNTU-CVE-2018-13843.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
