Windows NT getCanonicalPath Heap Corruption Denial of Service| ID: oval:org.mitre.oval:def:319 | Date: (C)2003-10-10 (M)2021-06-02 |
| Class: VULNERABILITY | Family: windows |
The getCanonicalPath function in Windows NT 4.0 may free memory that it does not own and cause heap corruption, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via requests that cause a long file name to be passed to getCanonicalPath, as demonstrated on the IBM JVM using a long string to the java.io.getCanonicalPath Java method.
