Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU41300

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-6429

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No
