Remote client crash via unbounded stack allocation
Published Aug 15, 2025 · Updated Aug 15, 2025
Stack-based buffer overflow in Lemon OS nightly-2024-07-12 allows remote attackers to crash the steal HTTP client via a crafted response. HTTPGet parses an untrusted chunkSize from a chunked response and uses it directly as the length of a variable-length stack array, so a large value exhausts the process stack. Reachability requires a Lemon OS user to direct steal to an attacker-controlled HTTP server; demonstrated impact is a SIGSEGV process crash, and attempts to gain execution control failed.
