LibOSDP vulnerable to a null pointer deref in osdp_reply_name

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 7, 2024 in goToMain/libosdp • Updated Nov 12, 2024

Package

pip libosdp (pip)

Affected versions

< 2.4.0

Patched versions

2.4.0

Description

Issue:

At ospd_common.c, on the osdp_reply_name function, any reply id between REPLY_ACK and REPLY_XRD is valid, but names array do not declare all of the range. On a case of an undefined reply id within the range, name will be null (name = names[reply_id - REPLY_ACK];). Null name will casue a crash on next line: if (name[0] == '\0') as null[0] is invalid.

Attack:

As this logic is not limited to a secure connection, attacker may trigger this vulnerability without any prior knowledge.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
