panic on parsing crafted blurhash inputs

High
rubdos published GHSA-cxvp-82cq-57h2 Sep 19, 2023

Package

cargo blurhash (Rust)

Affected versions

0.1.1

Patched versions

0.2.0

Description

Impact

The blurhash parsing code may panic due to multiple panic-guarded out-of-bounds accesses on untrusted input.

In a typical deployment, this may get triggered by feeding a maliciously crafted blurhashes over the network. These may include:

  • UTF-8 compliant strings containing multi-byte UTF-8 characters

Patches

The patches will be released under version 0.2.0, which requires user intervention because of slight API churn.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
