The VIQR module in the iconv implementation in FreeBSD 10.0 before p6 and NetBSD allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) via a crafted argument to the iconv_open function. NOTE: this issue was SPLIT from CVE-2014-3951 per ADT2 due to different vulnerability types.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-5384 is a denial-of-service flaw in the VIQR conversion module used by iconv on FreeBSD 10.0 before p6 and NetBSD. A crafted iconv_open argument can trigger out-of-bounds array access. The sources do not show code execution or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy FreeBSD 10.0 systems before p6 or affected NetBSD builds where applications call iconv_open using attacker-influenced conversion names. It is not documented as exposed by default network services. Treat this as a legacy platform resilience issue. It is not documented as actively exploited, but affected internet-facing or input-processing services could be crashed if they expose iconv conversion selection to untrusted users. Mitigation focus: Apply the FreeBSD-SA-14:15 iconv update on affected FreeBSD 10.0 systems.; Check NetBSD vendor guidance or source branch status for the libc/citrus VIQR fix.; Prioritize systems where untrusted input controls character set conversion names..
