OOB Read in Dell ControlVault3 (<5.15.10.14) & Plus (<6.2.26.36) via API
CVE-2025-24311 Published on June 13, 2025
Dell ControlVault3/ControlVault3 Plus cv_send_blockdata out-of-bounds read vulnerability
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists in the cv_send_blockdata
functionality of Dell ControlVault3 prior to 5.15.10.14 and Dell ControlVault3 Plus prior to 6.2.26.36. A specially crafted
ControlVault API call can lead to an information leak. An attacker can
issue an API call to trigger this vulnerability.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2025-24311 can be exploited with local system access, and requires small amount of user privileges. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have a high impact on confidentiality, with no impact on integrity, and a high impact on availability.
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
