Summary
Fix high severity security issue in
source/hal/arch/generic/linux/linux_generic.c.Vulnerability
V-003source/hal/arch/generic/linux/linux_generic.c:541Description: In vsf_arch_heap_realloc, a new buffer is allocated with the requested size and then memcpy copies 'size' bytes from the old buffer. If the new size is larger than the original allocation, memcpy reads beyond the original buffer's bounds. The code does not track or use the original allocation size for the copy operation, violating the standard realloc contract.
Evidence
Exploitation scenario: An attacker who can trigger a realloc with a size larger than the original allocation causes memcpy to read 'size' bytes from the old buffer, which may only contain fewer valid bytes.
Scanner confirmation: multi_agent_ai rule
V-003flagged this pattern.Production code: This file is in the production codebase, not test-only code.
