CVE-2014-125026:
vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
LZ4 bindings in github.com/cloudflare/golz4 before version v0.0.0-20140711154735-199f5f787806 use a deprecated C API that is vulnerable to memory corruption, which could lead to arbitrary code execution if called with untrusted user input (Go Packages).
Technical details
The vulnerability stems from the use of the unsafe decoder version LZ4_uncompress instead of the secure version LZ4_decompress_safe. The unsafe version lacks proper input validation, making it susceptible to memory corruption through maliciously crafted input. This implementation flaw could potentially allow attackers to trigger arbitrary code execution when processing untrusted input (GitHub Issue).
Impact
The vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary code through maliciously crafted input, potentially compromising the security of applications using the affected LZ4 bindings. The impact is particularly severe when processing untrusted user input, as it could lead to complete system compromise (Go Packages).
Mitigation and workarounds
The issue has been fixed in version v0.0.0-20140711154735-199f5f787806 by replacing the unsafe LZ4_uncompress function with the secure LZ4_decompress_safe version. Users should upgrade to this version or later to address the vulnerability (GitHub Commit).
