No affected components available
Code generated by flatbuffers' compiler is unsafe but not marked as such.
See https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/6627 for details.
For example, if generated code is used to decode malformed or untrusted input,
undefined behavior (and thus security vulnerabilities) is possible even without
the use of the unsafe keyword, violating the the meaning of "safe" code;
All users that use generated code by flatbuffers compiler are recommended to:
- not expose flatbuffer generated code as part of their public APIs
- audit their code and look for any usage of
follow,push, or any method that uses them (e.g.self_follow). - Carefully go through the crates' documentation to understand which "safe" APIs are not intended to be used.
The vulnerability can be exploited over the network without needing physical access. It is easy for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker does not need any special privileges or access rights. No user interaction is needed for the attacker to exploit this vulnerability. The impact is confined to the system where the vulnerability exists. There is a high impact on the confidentiality of the information. There is a high impact on the integrity of the data. There is a high impact on the availability of the system.
Active exploitation in the wild has been confirmed. Immediate patching or mitigation is required.
Probability that this vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days.
