CVE-2021-20235

zeromq: Heap overflow when receiving malformed ZMTP v1 packets

Published Apr 1, 2021 CVSS 3.1 · 8.1 High EPSS 43.9% KEV · Not listed
Description
There's a flaw in the zeromq server in versions before 4.3.3 in src/decoder_allocators.hpp. The decoder static allocator could have its sized changed, but the buffer would remain the same as it is a static buffer. A remote, unauthenticated attacker who sends a crafted request to the zeromq server could trigger a buffer overflow WRITE of arbitrary data if CURVE/ZAP authentication is not enabled. The greatest impact of this flaw is to application availability, data integrity, and confidentiality.
