A vulnerability was found in warmcat libwebsockets 4.5.0. Impacted is the function reportrawcbor of the file lib/misc/lecp.c of the component LECP CBOR Recording. The manipulation results in out-of-bounds write. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The patch is identified as 1d44554a1bb262db63ff4e240152a9deecd99054. It is best practice to apply a patch to resolve this issue.

A flaw has been found in warmcat libwebsockets up to 4.5.8. This issue affects the function lwssshparseplaintext of the file plugins/protocollwssshbase/sshd.c of the component SSH Protocol Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument msglen can lead to resource consumption. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used. This patch is called 3f9f0c6ecaf0e6f3f219d30632c5d1f2479d7498. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue.

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.

Use After Free in WebSocket server implementation in lwshandshakeserver in warmcat libwebsockets may allow an attacker, in specific configurations where the user provides a callback function that handles LWSCALLBACKHTTPCONFIRMUPGRADE, to achieve denial of service.

Out-of-bounds Read in lwsupngemitnextline in warmcat libwebsockets allows, when the LWSWITHUPNG flag is enabled during compilation and the HTML display stack is used, to read past a heap allocated buffer possibly causing a crash, when the user visits an attacker controlled website that contains a crafted PNG file with a big height dimension.

Out-of-bounds Write in unfilterscanline in warmcat libwebsockets allows, when the LWSWITHUPNG flag is enabled during compilation and the HTML display stack is used, to write past a heap allocated buffer possibly causing a crash, when the user visits an attacker controlled website that contains a crafted PNG file with a big width value that causes an integer overflow which value is used for determining the size of a heap allocation.

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.
