CVE-2024-29745
Description
there is a possible Information Disclosure due to uninitialized data. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
Summary dbcve.org
This vulnerability involves information disclosure caused by uninitialized data being returned or exposed. During operation, memory locations are read without being properly initialized first, causing sensitive data that may have been previously stored in those memory regions to be disclosed to an attacker. This is a local disclosure vector requiring no elevated privileges or user interaction.
Mitigation
Remediate by ensuring all variables and memory buffers are explicitly initialized before use. Implement static analysis and memory sanitizers (e.g., MSan, Valgrind) in the development pipeline to catch uninitialized memory reads. Conduct code review focusing on memory management paths.
