Default functions in VolatileMemory trait lack bounds checks, potentially leading to out-of-bounds memory accesses
CVE-2023-41051 · GHSA-49hh-fprx-m68g

- crates.io vm-memory < 0.12.2

- 0.12.2· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- Impact An issue was discovered in the default implementations of the VolatileMemory::{getatomicref, alignedasref, alignedasmut, getref, getarrayref} trait functions, which allows out-of-bounds memory access if the VolatileMemory::getslice function returns a VolatileSlice whose length is less than the function’s count argument. No implementations of getslice provided in vmmemory are affected. Users of custom VolatileMemory implementations may be impacted if the custom implementation does not adhere to getslice's documentation. Patches The issue started in version 0.1.0 but was fixed in version 0.12.2 by inserting a check that verifies that the VolatileSlice returned by getslice is of the correct length. Workarounds Not Required References https://github.com/rust-vmm/vm-memory/commit/aff1dd4a5259f7deba56692840f7a2d9ca34c9c8 https://crates.io/crates/vm-memory/0.12.2
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.12.2 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
