An issue was discovered in Wind River VxWorks 6.9 and 7. The function ``tarExtract`` implements TAR file extraction and thereby also processes files within an archive that have relative or absolute file paths. A developer using the "tarExtract" function may expect that the function will strip leading slashes from absolute paths or stop processing when encountering relative paths that are outside of the extraction path, unless otherwise forced. This could lead to unexpected and undocumented behavior, which in general could result in a directory traversal, and associated unexpected behavior.

An issue was discovered in Wind River VxWorks 6.9 and 7, that allows a specifically crafted packet sent by a Radius server, may cause Denial of Service during the IP Radius access procedure.

In Wind River VxWorks 6.9 and 7, a specific crafted packet may lead to an out-of-bounds read during an IKE initial exchange scenario.

An issue was discovered in VxWorks 6.9 through 7. In the IKE component, a specifically crafted packet may lead to reading beyond the end of a buffer, or a double free.

An issue was discovered in Wind River VxWorks 7. The memory allocator has a possible integer overflow in calculating a memory block's size to be allocated by calloc(). As a result, the actual memory allocated is smaller than the buffer size specified by the arguments, leading to memory corruption.

A DNS client stack-based buffer overflow in ipdnsc_decode_name() affects Wind River VxWorks 6.5 through 7. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer

In Wind River VxWorks, memory allocator has a possible overflow in calculating the memory block's size to be allocated by calloc(). As a result, the actual memory allocated is smaller than the buffer size specified by the arguments, leading to memory corruption.

httpRpmFs in WebCLI in Wind River VxWorks 5.5 through 7 SR0640 has no check for an escape from the web root.

Wind River VxWorks 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9 and 7 has Incorrect Access Control in the RARP client component. IPNET security vulnerability: Handling of unsolicited Reverse ARP replies (Logical Flaw).

Wind River VxWorks 6.7 though 6.9 and vx7 has a Buffer Overflow in the TCP component (issue 3 of 4). This is an IPNET security vulnerability: TCP Urgent Pointer state confusion during connect() to a remote host.

Wind River VxWorks 6.9 and vx7 has a Buffer Overflow in the TCP component (issue 2 of 4). This is an IPNET security vulnerability: TCP Urgent Pointer state confusion caused by a malformed TCP AO option.

Wind River VxWorks 6.6 through vx7 has Session Fixation in the TCP component. This is a IPNET security vulnerability: DoS of TCP connection via malformed TCP options.

Wind River VxWorks has a Buffer Overflow in the TCP component (issue 1 of 4). This is a IPNET security vulnerability: TCP Urgent Pointer = 0 that leads to an integer underflow.

Wind River VxWorks 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9.3 and 6.9.4 has a Memory Leak in the IGMPv3 client component. There is an IPNET security vulnerability: IGMP Information leak via IGMPv3 specific membership report.

Wind River VxWorks 6.9.4 and vx7 has a Buffer Overflow in the TCP component (issue 4 of 4). There is an IPNET security vulnerability: TCP Urgent Pointer state confusion due to race condition.

Wind River VxWorks 6.6, 6.7, 6.8, 6.9 and vx7 has an array index error in the IGMPv3 client component. There is an IPNET security vulnerability: DoS via NULL dereference in IGMP parsing.

Wind River VxWorks 6.6 through 6.9 has a Buffer Overflow in the DHCP client component. There is an IPNET security vulnerability: Heap overflow in DHCP Offer/ACK parsing inside ipdhcpc.

Wind River VxWorks 6.9 and vx7 has a Buffer Overflow in the IPv4 component. There is an IPNET security vulnerability: Stack overflow in the parsing of IPv4 packets’ IP options.

When RPC is enabled in Wind River VxWorks 6.9 prior to 6.9.1, a specially crafted RPC request can trigger an integer overflow leading to an out-of-bounds memory copy. It may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Integer overflow in the _authenticate function in svc_auth.c in Wind River VxWorks 5.5 through 6.9.4.1, when the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a username and password.
