Advisory Summary

CVE-2024-0123 is a LOW (CVSS 3.3) security vulnerability vulnerability (CWE-1285: Improper Validation of Specified Index, Position, or Offset in Input) affecting Software libraries in the Maven ecosystem. The weakness occurs when the product receives input that is expected to specify an index, position, or offset into an indexable resource such as a buffer or file, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the specified index/position/offset has the required properties.. Remediation is available in the latest vendor maintenance releases.

How to Fix CVE-2024-0123

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Software dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

mvn dependency:tree

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Java application is affected by CVE-2024-0123, inspect your build dependencies using the Maven Dependency Plugin:

mvn dependency:tree

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Software in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than the patched release), your application is affected.

Note: The mvn dependency:tree command inspects the resolved dependency graph declared in your project's POM files; it does not perform automated security scanning or inspect runtime dynamic classpaths. Always verify runtime container classpaths and shaded JARs.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-1285: Improper Validation of Specified Index, Position, or Offset in Input, where the product receives input that is expected to specify an index, position, or offset into an indexable resource such as a buffer or file, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the specified index/position/offset has the required properties. In Software, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

NVIDIA CUDA toolkit for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the nvdisasm command line tool where an attacker may cause an improper validation in input issue by tricking the user into running nvdisasm on a malicious ELF file. A successful exploit of this vulnerability may lead to denial of service.
