PARTIAL Summary
Because of an integer overflow in sam2p 0.49.3, a loop executes 0xffffffff times, ending with an invalid read of size 1 in the Image::Indexed::sortPal function in image.cpp. However, this also causes memory corruption because of an attempted write to the invalid d[0xfffffffe] array element.

Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Forced Integer Overflow This attack forces an integer variable to go out of range. The integer variable is often used as an offset such as size of memory allocation or similarly. The attacker would typically control the value of such variable and try to get it out of range. For instance the integer in question is incremented past the maximum possible value, it may wrap to become a very small, or negative number, therefore providing a very incorrect value which can lead to unexpected behavior. At worst the attacker can execute arbitrary code.

NASL family FreeBSD Local Security Checks NASL id FREEBSD_PKG_43A1B8F934514F3CB4FC730C0F5876C1.NASL description sam2p developers report : In sam2p 0.49.3, a heap-based buffer overflow exists in the pcxLoadImage24 function of the file in_pcx.cpp. In sam2p 0.49.3, the in_xpm_reader function in in_xpm.cpp has an integer signedness error, leading to a crash when writing to an out-of-bounds array element. In sam2p 0.49.3, an integer overflow exists in the pcxLoadImage24 function of the file in_pcx.cpp, leading to an invalid write operation. In sam2p 0.49.3, the pcxLoadRaster function in in_pcx.cpp has an integer signedness error leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. Because of an integer overflow in sam2p 0.49.3, a loop executes 0xffffffff times, ending with an invalid read of size 1 in the Image::Indexed::sortPal function in image.cpp. However, this also causes memory corruption because of an attempted write to the invalid d[0xfffffffe] array element. In sam2p 0.49.3, there is an invalid read of size 2 in the parse_rgb function in in_xpm.cpp. However, this can also cause a write to an illegal address. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 103557 published 2017-09-29 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2017-2018 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/103557 title FreeBSD : sam2p -- multiple issues (43a1b8f9-3451-4f3c-b4fc-730c0f5876c1) code # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from the FreeBSD VuXML database : # # Copyright 2003-2018 Jacques Vidrine and contributors # # Redistribution and use in source (VuXML) and 'compiled' forms (SGML, # HTML, PDF, PostScript, RTF and so forth) with or without modification, # are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: # 1.
