CWE ID Description
CWE-190 The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in multiple functions of the mem_protect.c file where an integer overflow can cause an out of bounds write.

An integer overflow occurs when a calculation exceeds the maximum size that can be stored in an integer variable, leading to unexpected behavior.

The out of bounds write means that the program writes data outside the intended memory area, which can corrupt memory and cause security issues.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to local escalation of privilege, meaning an attacker who already has some access to the system could gain higher privileges.

No additional execution privileges or user interaction are needed to exploit this vulnerability, making it easier for an attacker to leverage.
