GHSA-4667-XXV8-3PQ6
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 21:30 – Updated: 2024-10-24 18:30In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: health: afe4403: Fix oob read in afe4403_read_raw
KASAN report out-of-bounds read as follows:
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in afe4403_read_raw+0x42e/0x4c0 Read of size 4 at addr ffffffffc02ac638 by task cat/279
Call Trace: afe4403_read_raw iio_read_channel_info dev_attr_show
The buggy address belongs to the variable: afe4403_channel_leds+0x18/0xffffffffffffe9e0
This issue can be reproduced by singe command:
$ cat /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/iio\:device0/in_intensity6_raw
The array size of afe4403_channel_leds is less than channels, so access with chan->address cause OOB read in afe4403_read_raw. Fix it by moving access before use it.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-09-02 21:30 – Updated: 2025-09-02 21:30Foxit PDF Reader PRC File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Read Information Disclosure Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Foxit PDF Reader. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PRC files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-26802.

Mitigation MIT-5
Strategy: Input Validation
- Assume all input is malicious. Use an "accept known good" input validation strategy, i.e., use a list of acceptable inputs that strictly conform to specifications. Reject any input that does not strictly conform to specifications, or transform it into something that does.
- When performing input validation, consider all potentially relevant properties, including length, type of input, the full range of acceptable values, missing or extra inputs, syntax, consistency across related fields, and conformance to business rules. As an example of business rule logic, "boat" may be syntactically valid because it only contains alphanumeric characters, but it is not valid if the input is only expected to contain colors such as "red" or "blue."
- Do not rely exclusively on looking for malicious or malformed inputs. This is likely to miss at least one undesirable input, especially if the code's environment changes. This can give attackers enough room to bypass the intended validation. However, denylists can be useful for detecting potential attacks or determining which inputs are so malformed that they should be rejected outright.
- To reduce the likelihood of introducing an out-of-bounds read, ensure that you validate and ensure correct calculations for any length argument, buffer size calculation, or offset. Be especially careful of relying on a sentinel (i.e. special character such as NUL) in untrusted inputs.

Strategy: Language Selection
Use a language that provides appropriate memory abstractions.
CAPEC-540: Overread Buffers
An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.
