Details
Junwha Hong and Wonil Jang discovered that Micropython incorrectly handled
the length of a buffer in mp_vfs_umount, leading to a heap-based buffer
overflow vulnerability. If a user or automated system were tricked into
opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
