What is CVE-2020-8905?

CVE-2020-8905 is a low-severity vulnerability in Google LLC Asylo, published on 12 Aug 2020. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

A buffer length validation vulnerability in Asylo versions prior to 0.6.0 allows an attacker to read data they should not have access to. The 'enc_untrusted_recvfrom' function generates a return value which is deserialized by 'MessageReader', and copied into three different 'extents'. The length of the third 'extents' is controlled by the outside world, and not verified on copy, allowing the attacker to force Asylo to copy trusted memory data into an untrusted buffer of significantly small length.. We recommend updating Asylo to version 0.6.0 or later.

Weakness: CWE-120
