Description

A flaw was found in Capstone. The cs_insn_name() application programming interface (API) in the M68K and RISCV backends does not properly validate caller-supplied instruction IDs. An attacker can provide an invalid instruction ID, leading to an out-of-bounds read. This can cause the process to crash, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) for applications that expose instruction-name lookup to untrusted IDs.

Statement

Moderate: This flaw in Capstone's M68K and RISCV backends can lead to a denial of service. Applications that utilize Capstone and expose the cs_insn_name() API to untrusted instruction IDs without proper validation are susceptible to an out-of-bounds read, resulting in a crash. The impact is limited to availability and does not involve code execution or information disclosure.
