LOW Privileges required
LOW Confidentiality impact
HIGH Integrity impact
NONE Availability impact
HIGH Summary
A buffer over-read in Util_urlDecode in util.c in Tildeslash Monit before 5.25.3 allows a remote authenticated attacker to retrieve the contents of adjacent memory via manipulation of GET or POST parameters. The attacker can also cause a denial of service (application outage).
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Overread Buffers An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

NASL family Ubuntu Local Security Checks NASL id UBUNTU_USN-3971-1.NASL description Zack Flack discovered that Monit incorrectly handled certain input. A remote authenticated user could exploit this to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. (CVE-2019-11454) Zack Flack discovered a buffer overread when Monit decoded certain crafted URLs. An attacker could exploit this to leak potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2019-11455).
