NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gvfs-client-debuginfo package and not the gvfs-client-debuginfo package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the SFTP backend in gvfs. When mounting a share and reading a file, a malicious SFTP server can cause read_reply() to process a length that exceeds the size requested by the client. The function does not verify the server-provided length against the allocated buffer size, causing the operation to write past the intended boundaries. This issue allows a malicious server to corrupt adjacent heap memory in the gvfsd-sftp process, resulting in a denial of service as the process aborts upon detecting the heap corruption or potentially allowing arbitrary code execution.
