Overview

CVE-2012-2658 is a low-severity vulnerability affecting unixodbc unixodbc. It was published on August 31, 2012 and has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 2.1 (LOW).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 2.0 base score of 2.1, rated LOW. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical description

Buffer overflow in the SQLDriverConnect function in unixODBC 2.3.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long string in the DRIVER option. NOTE: this issue might not be a vulnerability, since the ability to set this option typically implies that the attacker already has legitimate access to cause a DoS or execute code, and therefore the issue would not cross privilege boundaries. There may be limited attack scenarios if isql command-line options are exposed to an attacker, although it seems likely that other, more serious issues would also be exposed, and this issue might not cross privilege boundaries in that context.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from unixodbc. Update unixodbc to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
