Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in warmcat libwebsockets allows Pointer Manipulation, potentially leading to out-of-bounds memory access. This issue affects libwebsockets before 4.3.4 and is present in code built specifically for the Win32 platform.

By default, the affected code is not executed unless one of the following conditions is met:

LWSWITHOUTEXTENSIONS (default ON) is manually set to OFF in CMake. LWSWITHHTTPSTREAMCOMPRESSION (default OFF) is manually set to ON in CMake. Despite these conditions, when triggered in affected configurations, this vulnerability may allow attackers to manipulate pointers, potentially leading to memory corruption or unexpected behavior.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of libwebsockets. Authentication is not required to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of HTTP/2 HPACK path header. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process.

Stack-based Buffer Overflow in lwsadnsparselabel in warmcat libwebsockets allows, when the LWSWITHSYSASYNCDNS flag is enabled during compilation, to overflow the labelstack, when the attacker is able to sniff a DNS request in order to craft a response with a matching id containing a label longer than the maximum.
