Описание
Libevent is an event notification library. Prior to 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha, libevent has a use-after-free in buffer.c when evbuffer_add_buffer_reference processes an output buffer whose out_total_len is zero. evbuffer_free_all_chains frees the initial empty chain without resetting outbuf->first, outbuf->last, or outbuf->last_with_datap, and APPEND_CHAIN_MULTICAST subsequently dereferences the dangling chain pointer. A caller that can drive this buffer state can cause memory corruption or a process crash. This issue is fixed in versions 2.1.13 and 2.2.2-alpha.
A flaw was found in Libevent, an event notification library. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the evbuffer_add_buffer_reference function when it processes an output buffer with a zero length. This can lead to a dangling pointer, which an attacker could exploit to cause memory corruption or crash the application.
