CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe GNU C Library versions 2.45 and earlier are vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow when an attacker-controlled empty string is passed to the `,ccs=` syntax extension in the `fopen` function. This vulnerability could lead to potential memory corruption and exploitation if user-supplied values are not properly validated. Developers and system administrators managing applications that utilize this library should prioritize patching or implementing input validation to mitigate the risk.
Original NVD Description
Passing an effectively empty string to the `,ccs=` syntax extension of the mode argument in the `fopen` function in the GNU C Library version 2.45 or earlier may result in a heap buffer overflow when the mode string input to the function is attacker controlled. This usage pattern is not seen in applications in common GNU/Linux distributions and applications that process user-supplied values for `ccs` should not pass them through without validation.
