CVE-2023-50711
CVSS 3.1 Score 9.8 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2023-50711 affects the vmm-sys-util library, specifically the `FamStructWrapper` implementation in the `vmm_sys_util::fam` crate. In versions prior to 0.12.0, this component contained a vulnerability in its `deserialize` function, which can result in out-of-bounds memory access due to a mismatch between the header length and the flexible array length. This issue was rectified in version 0.12.0 with the addition of a check to ensure header and flexible array lengths match, and by limiting header length modification to Rust-unsafe code to prevent such access from Rust-safe code.
