Buffer Overflow vulnerability in VirusTotal yara v.4.3.2 allows a remote attacker to execute arbtirary code via the yrexecutecod function in the exe.c component.
A Buffer Overflow vulnerablity exists in VirusTotal YARA git commit: 605b2edf07ed8eb9a2c61ba22eb2e7c362f47ba7 via yrsetconfiguration in yara/libyara/libyara.c, which could cause a Denial of Service.
An integer overflow and several buffer overflow reads in libyara/modules/macho/macho.c in YARA v4.0.3 and earlier could allow an attacker to either cause denial of service or information disclosure via a malicious Mach-O file. Affects all versions before libyara 4.0.4
In the machoparsefile functionality in macho/macho.c of YARA 3.11.0, commandsize may be inconsistent with the real size. A specially crafted MachO file can cause an out-of-bounds memory access, resulting in Denial of Service (application crash) or potential code execution.
An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in the object lookup functionality of Yara 3.8.1. A specially crafted binary file can cause a negative value to be read to satisfy an assert, resulting in Denial of Service. An attacker can create a malicious binary to trigger this vulnerability.
In YARA 3.8.1, bytecode in a specially crafted compiled rule can read uninitialized data from VM scratch memory in libyara/exec.c. This can allow attackers to discover addresses in the real stack (not the YARA virtual stack).
In YARA 3.8.1, bytecode in a specially crafted compiled rule is exposed to information about its environment, in libyara/exec.c. This is a consequence of the design of the YARA virtual machine.
In YARA 3.8.1, bytecode in a specially crafted compiled rule can read data from any arbitrary address in memory, in libyara/exec.c. Specifically, OPCOUNT can read a DWORD.
In YARA 3.7.1 and prior, parsing a specially crafted compiled rule file can cause an out of bounds write vulnerability in yrexecutecode in libyara/exec.c.
In YARA 3.7.1 and prior, parsing a specially crafted compiled rule file can cause an out of bounds read vulnerability in yrexecutecode in libyara/exec.c.
An issue was discovered in VirusTotal. A maliciously crafted Universal/fat binary can evade third-party code signing checks. By not completing full inspection of the Universal/fat binary, the user of the third-party tool will believe that the code is signed by Apple, but the malicious unsigned code will execute.
Heap buffer overflow in the yrobjectarraysetitem() function in object.c in YARA 3.x allows a denial-of-service attack by scanning a crafted .NET file.
The yrarenawritedata function in YARA 3.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) or obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted file that is mishandled in the yrrefastexec function in libyara/re.c and the yrscanmatchcallback function in libyara/scan.c.
libyara/re.c in the regexp module in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted rule (involving hex strings) that is mishandled in the yrreemit function, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-9304.
libyara/re.c in the regexp module in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted rule that is mishandled in the yrreemit function.
The sizedstringcmp function in libyara/sizedstr.c in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) via a crafted rule.
libyara/re.c in the regex component in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted rule that is mishandled in the yrreexec function.
libyara/grammar.y in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) via a crafted rule that is mishandled in the yrcompilerdestroy function.
libyara/grammar.y in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) via a crafted rule that is mishandled in the yrparserlookuploopvariable function.
libyara/lexer.l in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted rule that is mishandled in the yygetnextbuffer function.
libyara/grammar.y in YARA 3.5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted rule that is mishandled in the yarayyparse function.
