CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the KeePass AESKDF/KDBX v4 module in hashcat builds after version 7.1.2, where an oversized ninth hash field token can lead to a heap buffer overflow. This flaw allows attackers to corrupt adjacent heap memory, potentially leading to heap corruption or memory access violations. Organizations using affected versions of hashcat should prioritize this issue to mitigate risks of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
hashcat master branch builds after v7.1.2 contain a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the KeePass AESKDF/KDBX v4 module (module 34301) that allows attackers to corrupt adjacent heap memory by supplying an oversized ninth hash field token. The module accepts up to 600 hex characters for the ninth token field but decodes it into a fixed 256-byte buffer with no length check, allowing a maximal input to write up to 44 bytes past the buffer boundary into adjacent esalt fields and heap chunk metadata, potentially enabling heap corruption or memory access violations.
