Process-memory disclosure or crash via pointer wraparound
Published May 27, 2024 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Buffer overflow in Rockhopper 0.1.0 through 0.1.2 allows local users to read process memory or crash the process via crafted binary data. The count_rows function trusts a uint64 row length and advances its raw pointer without checking whether the arithmetic wraps below the input buffer. Exploitation requires local execution of RaggedArray.loads on attacker-controlled data; the result is an in-process memory read or a segmentation fault.
