CVE-2017-1000378 (CCN-127464)

Assigned:2017-06-19
Published:2017-06-19
Updated:2019-10-03
Summary:The NetBSD qsort() function is recursive, and not randomized, an attacker can construct a pathological input array of N elements that causes qsort() to deterministically recurse N/4 times. This allows attackers to consume arbitrary amounts of stack memory and manipulate stack memory to assist in arbitrary code execution attacks. This affects NetBSD 7.1 and possibly earlier versions.
