Remote Memory Exposure in floody
GHSA-3p92-886g-qxpq
- Affected
- npm floody < 0.1.1
- Fixed in
- 0.1.1· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Versions of floody before 0.1.1 are vulnerable to remote memory exposure. .write(number) in the affected floody versions passes a number to Buffer constructor, appending a chunk of uninitialized memory. Proof of Concept: var f = require('floody')(process.stdout); f.write(USERSUPPLIEDINPUT); 'f.stop(); Recommendation Update to version 0.1.1 or later.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.1.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
