About this tag
The unixODBC tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about the unixODBC open-source ODBC driver manager, including security vulnerabilities such as CVE-2024-1013. This specific vulnerability involves an out-of-bounds stack write in the PostgreSQL driver example code, caused by incompatible pointer-to-integer type assumptions on 64-bit platforms. The issue was patched upstream in early 2024, but exposure varies by distribution since the vulnerable code is often not built by default. Topics include memory corruption, patch advisories, and cross-platform ODBC driver management.

    CVE-2024-1013: unixODBC Out-of-Bounds Stack Write in PostgreSQL Driver

    unixODBC has a newly minted CVE — CVE-2024-1013 — describing an out-of-bounds stack write triggered by incompatible pointer-to-integer type usage in an example PostgreSQL driver. The root cause is trivial to state but subtle in practice: on 64‑bit platforms the code assumed 4‑byte integer sizes...
