Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-10-07 15:32 – Updated: 2026-10-07 15:32
VLAI
Details

Coturn 4.10.0 contains an uninitialized memory disclosure vulnerability that allows remote unauthenticated attackers to leak stack memory contents by sending a TURN Allocate request without credentials. Attackers can exploit the stun_init_error_response_common_str() function in src/client/ns_turn_msg.c, which fails to zero-initialize the avalue buffer before computing its length with strlen() and copying leaked stack bytes into the ERROR-CODE reason phrase, exposing pointer fragments that weaken ASLR and enable precise version fingerprinting.

Details

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where an error-handling path could operate on an improperly initialized resource. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, denial of service, information disclosure, and data tampering.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-19 12:31 – Updated: 2025-11-03 21:32
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

iio: adc: rockchip_saradc: fix information leak in triggered buffer

The 'data' local struct is used to push data to user space from a triggered buffer, but it does not set values for inactive channels, as it only uses iio_for_each_active_channel() to assign new values.

Initialize the struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing uninitialized information to userspace.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-09-02 00:01 – Updated: 2022-09-08 00:00
VLAI
Details

A flaw was found in vDPA with VDUSE backend. There are currently no checks in VDUSE kernel driver to ensure the size of the device config space is in line with the features advertised by the VDUSE userspace application. In case of a mismatch, Virtio drivers config read helpers do not initialize the memory indirectly passed to vduse_vdpa_get_config() returning uninitialized memory from the stack. This could cause undefined behavior or data leaks in Virtio drivers.

GHSA-6V28-C2X2-8P46

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-13 01:16 – Updated: 2026-10-09 00:30
VLAI
Details

In all versions of Node.js 10 prior to 10.9.0, an argument processing flaw can cause Buffer.alloc() to return uninitialized memory. This method is intended to be safe and only return initialized, or cleared, memory. The third argument specifying encoding can be passed as a number, this is misinterpreted by Buffer's internal "fill" method as the start to a fill operation. This flaw may be abused where Buffer.alloc() arguments are derived from user input to return uncleared memory blocks that may contain sensitive information.

This method is intended to be safe and only return initialized, or cleared, memory. The third argument specifying `encoding` can be passed as a number, this is misinterpreted by `Buffer\u0027s` internal \"fill\" method as the `start` to a fill operation. This flaw may be abused where `Buffer.alloc()` arguments are derived from user input to return uncleared memory blocks that may contain sensitive information.",

Mitigation
Implementation

Explicitly initialize the resource before use. If this is performed through an API function or standard procedure, follow all required steps.

Mitigation
Implementation

Pay close attention to complex conditionals that affect initialization, since some branches might not perform the initialization.

Mitigation
Implementation

Avoid race conditions (CWE-362) during initialization routines.

Mitigation
Build and Compilation

Run or compile the product with settings that generate warnings about uninitialized variables or data.

No CAPEC attack patterns related to this CWE.
