Description

A pointer overflow, with code execution, was discovered in ZeroMQ libzmq (aka 0MQ) 4.2.x and 4.3.x before 4.3.1. A v2_decoder.cpp zmq::v2_decoder_t::size_ready integer overflow allows an authenticated attacker to overwrite an arbitrary amount of bytes beyond the bounds of a buffer, which can be leveraged to run arbitrary code on the target system. The memory layout allows the attacker to inject OS commands into a data structure located immediately after the problematic buffer (i.e., it is not necessary to use a typical buffer-overflow exploitation technique that changes the flow of control).

Affected

Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.

4.2.0 ≤ v ≤ 4.2.54.3.0 ≤ v < 4.3.1
Affected range stops below 4.3.1, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
