There is no fixed version for org.webjars.npm:electron
.
Overview
org.webjars.npm:electron is a framework which lets you write cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read. The input to sctp_load_addresses_from_init
is verified by calling sctp_arethere_unrecognized_parameters
, however there is a difference in how these functions handle parameter bounds. The function sctp_arethere_unrecognized_parameters
does not process a parameter that is partially outside of the limit of the chunk, meanwhile, sctp_load_addresses_from_init
will continue processing until a parameter that is entirely outside of the chunk occurs.
This means that the last parameter of a chunk is not always verified, which can lead to parameters with very short plen
values being processed by sctp_load_addresses_from_init
. This can lead to out-of-bounds reads whenever the plen
is subtracted from the header len
.
