NASA CFITSIO prior to 3.43 is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: arbitrary code execution. The component is: over 40 source code files were changed. The attack vector is: remote unauthenticated attacker. The fixed version is: 3.43. NOTE: this CVE refers to the issues not covered by CVE-2018-3846, CVE-2018-3847, CVE-2018-3848, and CVE-2018-3849. One example is ftp_status in drvrnet.c mishandling a long string beginning with a '4' character.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →The vulnerable function `ftp_status` in `drvrnet.c` mishandles a long string beginning with a '4' character — monitor or fuzz FTP response parsing in CFITSIO for oversized strings starting with '4' (e.g., 4xx FTP error codes). ↗
- →The attack vector is a remote unauthenticated attacker — network-accessible CFITSIO instances processing remote FITS files (e.g., via FTP URLs) should be treated as exposed attack surface. ↗
- →Over 40 source code files were changed in the fix — any CFITSIO version prior to 3.43 across a wide range of components should be considered vulnerable, not just drvrnet.c. ↗
- ·This CVE explicitly excludes issues already covered by CVE-2018-3846, CVE-2018-3847, CVE-2018-3848, and CVE-2018-3849 — detections must account for the distinct, additional buffer overflows introduced here. ↗
- ·Fedora 32 and 33 ship cfitsio 3.470 and are not affected; only versions strictly prior to 3.43 are vulnerable. ↗
