GHSA-58xc-hpvq-8473
Redox UEFI Safe API can cause heap-buffer-overflow
Blast Radius
redox_uefi_stdReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects crates.io packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
ffi::nstr() should be marked unsafe, since a pointer to a buffer without a trailing 0 value will cause a heap buffer overflow.
Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🦀crates.io | redox_uefi_std | ≥ 0.1.8&&< 0.1.14 | 0.1.14 |
Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for redox_uefi_std. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update redox_uefi_std to 0.1.14 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-58xc-hpvq-8473 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-58xc-hpvq-8473 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-58xc-hpvq-8473. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-58xc-hpvq-8473 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-58xc-hpvq-8473 across crates.io dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
