Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2021-3578 (CCN-203110)

Assigned:2021-06-07
Published:2021-06-07
Updated:2022-10-18
Summary:A flaw was found in mbsync before v1.3.6 and v1.4.2, where an unchecked pointer cast allows a malicious or compromised server to write an arbitrary integer value past the end of a heap-allocated structure by issuing an unexpected APPENDUID response. This could be plausibly exploited for remote code execution on the client.
