CWE-126Buffer Over-read
Description
The product reads from a buffer using buffer access mechanisms such as indexes or pointers that reference memory locations after the targeted buffer.
Common consequences
- Confidentiality→Read Memory
- Confidentiality→Bypass Protection MechanismBy reading out-of-bounds memory, an attacker might be able to get secret values, such as memory addresses, which can bypass protection mechanisms such as ASLR in order to improve the reliability and likelihood of exploiting a separate weakn
- Availability,Integrity→DoS: Crash, Exit, or RestartAn attacker might be able to cause a crash or other denial of service by causing the product to read a memory location that is not allowed (such as a segmentation fault), or to cause other conditions in which the read operation returns more
