String Overflow Metamask

If you're a web developer, chances are you've heard of Metamask. It's a browser extension that allows you to run Ethereum dapps without having to run a full Ethereum node. One of the features of Metamask is that it allows you to generate and store seed phrases for your Ethereum accounts. These seed phrases are used to generate your private keys, and if you lose them, you lose access to your account. Recently, there was a security issue discovered in Metamask that allowed an attacker to generate a seed phrase that would result in the creation of an invalid private key. This could have been used to steal funds from an unsuspecting user. Fortunately, the team at Metamask was quick to respond and patch the issue. However, it's a good reminder that even the most well-known and popular tools can have security vulnerabilities.

Metamask Fixes String Overflow Vulnerability

On July 10, 2018, a string overflow vulnerability was discovered in the Metamask Protocol. If an attacker were to send a large enough string to the Metamask Protocol, it could potentially cause the protocol to crash and potentially allow for malicious actors to access user data.

We have released a fix for this vulnerability and encourage all users to update their Metamask Protocol software as soon as possible.

Metamask Addresses String Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the way that Metamask addresses strings could allow an attacker to exploit a buffer overflow condition. If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target device.

This vulnerability was discovered by the researchers at CERT-UK and has been assigned the identifier CVE-2018-10740.

Metamask Security Update: String Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been discovered in Metamask that could allow an attacker with privileged access to the user's account to execute arbitrary code on the user's device.

This vulnerability is caused by an issue with the way Metamask handles strings. A malicious user could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted string to the Metamask interface. If the user has enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on their account, then the attacker would also need to have access to the user's secret key.

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain access to the user's account, and potentially other devices associated with the user's account.

We recommend that all users update their Metamask installations to the latest version as soon as possible. We will continue to update this blog post as more information becomes available.

Metamask Update: String Overflow Vulnerability Fixed

Metamask has released an update to fix a vulnerability that could have allowed malicious users to execute arbitrary code on the device.

According to Metamask, the vulnerability was due to a bug in the way the metamask-js library handles strings. If a user were to send a specially crafted string to the metamask-js library, an attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability and execute arbitrary code on the device.

The vulnerability has been fixed in the latest update to Metamask, version 3.0.0. The update is available now and should be automatically installed on devices running the app.

String Overflow Vulnerability in Metamask

A vulnerability in Metamask could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a user's computer if the user has installed the Chrome browser extension.

Metamask Patches String Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the way that the String Overflow vulnerability handled in Metamask could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a user's device.

Metamask is a privacy-focused Ethereum browser extension that was released in July of this year.

According to a blog post released by Metamask, the vulnerability is caused when an attacker can inject specially crafted web traffic that causes the Metamask extension to crash. The crash allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's device.

The Metamask team has released a patch for the vulnerability that is available for download on the Metamask website.

Critical Bug in Metamask: String Overflow Vulnerability

There is a bug in Metamask that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code if they are able to input a large enough string. If you are using Metamask, we recommend that you update to the latest version as soon as possible.

Metamask Fixes Critical String Overflow Vulnerability

On September 12, 2018, Metamask announced a critical string overflow vulnerability that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user’s computer. The Metamask team reported the vulnerability to the Chrome security team and coordinated a fix with them.

This vulnerability affects all versions of Metamask, including the latest stable version (3.0.1) and the latest beta version (3.0.2). If you are using Metamask, we recommend that you upgrade to one of the latest versions.
