Description

Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. Prior to 4.11.0, w_copy_event_for_log() references memory (initially allocated in OS_CleanMSG()) after it has been freed. A compromised agent can potentially compromise the integrity of the application by sending a specially crafted message to the wazuh manager. An attacker who is able to craft and send an agent message to the wazuh manager can leverage this issue to potentially compromise the integrity of the application (the use of previously freed memory may corrupt valid data, if the memory area in question has been allocated and used properly elsewhere). This vulnerability is fixed in 4.11.0.

Exploitability

CWE

KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-416 The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability occurs in Wazuh versions prior to 4.11.0 where the function w_copy_event_for_log() references memory that has already been freed. Specifically, memory initially allocated in OS_CleanMSG() is accessed after being freed, which can lead to corruption of valid data. A compromised agent can exploit this by sending a specially crafted message to the Wazuh manager, potentially compromising the integrity of the application.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can compromise the integrity of the Wazuh application by corrupting valid data through use of freed memory. An attacker who can send crafted messages to the Wazuh manager may leverage this to disrupt or manipulate the application's behavior, potentially leading to security breaches or unreliable threat detection and response.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Wazuh to version 4.11.0 or later, as this vulnerability is fixed in that version.
