CWE-121
AllowedStack-based Buffer Overflow
Abstraction: Variant · Status: Draft
A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function).
5207 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-02-18 22:36 – Updated: 2025-03-10 22:36Summary
Nokogiri v1.18.3 upgrades its dependency libxml2 to v2.13.6.
libxml2 v2.13.6 addresses:
- CVE-2025-24928
- described at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/847
- CVE-2024-56171
- described at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/828
Impact
CVE-2025-24928
Stack-buffer overflow is possible when reporting DTD validation errors if the input contains a long (~3kb) QName prefix.
CVE-2024-56171
Use-after-free is possible during validation against untrusted XML Schemas (.xsd) and, potentially, validation of untrusted documents against trusted Schemas if they make use of xsd:keyref in combination with recursively defined types that have additional identity constraints.

Specially crafted commands sent through the PubNub service can cause a stack-based buffer overflow overwriting arbitrary data. An attacker should send an authenticated HTTP request to trigger this vulnerability. In cmd s_b, at 0x9d01679c, the value for the s_sonos_cmd key is copied using strcpy to the buffer at $sp+0x290.This buffer is 32 bytes large, sending anything longer will cause a buffer overflow.

Mitigation MIT-10
Strategy: Environment Hardening
- Use automatic buffer overflow detection mechanisms that are offered by certain compilers or compiler extensions. Examples include: the Microsoft Visual Studio /GS flag, Fedora/Red Hat FORTIFY_SOURCE GCC flag, StackGuard, and ProPolice, which provide various mechanisms including canary-based detection and range/index checking.
- D3-SFCV (Stack Frame Canary Validation) from D3FEND [REF-1334] discusses canary-based detection in detail.
Mitigation
Use an abstraction library to abstract away risky APIs. Not a complete solution.
Mitigation
Implement and perform bounds checking on input.
Mitigation
Do not use dangerous functions such as gets. Use safer, equivalent functions which check for boundary errors.
Mitigation MIT-11
Strategy: Environment Hardening
- Run or compile the software using features or extensions that randomly arrange the positions of a program's executable and libraries in memory. Because this makes the addresses unpredictable, it can prevent an attacker from reliably jumping to exploitable code.
- Examples include Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) [REF-58] [REF-60] and Position-Independent Executables (PIE) [REF-64]. Imported modules may be similarly realigned if their default memory addresses conflict with other modules, in a process known as "rebasing" (for Windows) and "prelinking" (for Linux) [REF-1332] using randomly generated addresses. ASLR for libraries cannot be used in conjunction with prelink since it would require relocating the libraries at run-time, defeating the whole purpose of prelinking.
- For more information on these techniques see D3-SAOR (Segment Address Offset Randomization) from D3FEND [REF-1335].
