CWE-119ClassStable
Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.

CVE-2025-1866Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in warmcat libwebsockets allows Pointer Manipulation, potentially leading to out-of-bounds memory access. This issue affects libwebsockets before 4.3.4 and is present in code built specifically for the Win32 platform.
By default, the affected code is not executed unless one of the following conditions is met:
LWS_WITHOUT_EXTENSIONS (default ON) is manually set to OFF in CMake.
LWS_WITH_HTTP_STREAM_COMPRESSION (default OFF) is manually set to ON in CMake.
Despite these conditions, when triggered in affected configurations, this vulnerability may allow attackers to manipulate pointers, potentially leading to memory corruption or unexpected behavior.
CVE-2025-1864Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in radareorg radare2 allows Overflow Buffers.This issue affects radare2: before <5.9.9.
CVE-2024-25029IBM Personal Communications 14.0.6 through 15.0.1 includes a Windows service that is vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) and local privilege escalation (LPE). The vulnerability allows any unprivileged user with network access to a target computer to run commands with full privileges in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. This allows for a low privileged attacker to move laterally to affected systems and to escalate their privileges. IBM X-Force ID: 281619.
CVE-2022-4291The aswjsflt.dll library from Avast Antivirus windows contained a potentially exploitable heap corruption vulnerability that could enable an attacker to bypass the sandbox of the application it was loaded into, if applicable. This issue was fixed in version 18.0.1478 of the Script Shield Component.
CVE-2021-21951An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the CMD_DEVICE_GET_SERVER_LIST_REQUEST functionality of the home_security binary of Anker Eufy Homebase 2 2.1.6.9h in function read_udp_push_config_file. A specially-crafted network packet can lead to code execution.
CVE-2021-21950An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the CMD_DEVICE_GET_SERVER_LIST_REQUEST functionality of the home_security binary of Anker Eufy Homebase 2 2.1.6.9h in function recv_server_device_response_msg_process. A specially-crafted network packet can lead to code execution.
CVE-2020-11896The Treck TCP/IP stack before 6.0.1.66 allows Remote Code Execution, related to IPv4 tunneling.
CVE-2020-0796A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Microsoft Server Message Block 3.1.1 (SMBv3) protocol handles certain requests, aka 'Windows SMBv3 Client/Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability'.
CVE-2018-19417An issue was discovered in the MQTT server in Contiki-NG before 4.2. The function parse_publish_vhdr() that parses MQTT PUBLISH messages with a variable length header uses memcpy to input data into a fixed size buffer. The allocated buffer can fit only MQTT_MAX_TOPIC_LENGTH (default 64) bytes, and a length check is missing. This could lead to Remote Code Execution via a stack-smashing attack (overwriting the function return address). Contiki-NG does not separate the MQTT server from other servers and the OS modules, so access to all memory regions is possible.
CVE-2017-3088Adobe Digital Editions versions 4.5.4 and earlier have an exploitable memory corruption vulnerability in the PDF runtime engine. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution.
CVE-2017-2788A buffer overflows exists in the psnotifyd application of the Pharos PopUp printer client version 9.0. A specially crafted packet can be sent to the victim's computer and can lead to a heap based buffer overflow resulting in potential remote code execution. This client is always listening, has root privileges, and requires no user interaction to exploit.
