Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-0897)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing a JPEG2000 (JP2) file with a crafted Quantization Default (QCD) marker segment. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-2336)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the hypervisor.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in TPView.dll. A remote user on the guest OS can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-2337)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the hypervisor.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in TPInt.dll. A remote user on the guest OS can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-2338)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the hypervisor.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in TPview.dll. A remote user on the guest OS can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-2339)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the hypervisor.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in TPview.dll. A remote user on the guest OS can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-2340)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the hypervisor.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in TPInt.dll. A remote user on the guest OS can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-2341)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling RPC calls. A remote user on the guest OS can perform a denial of service against a 32-bit guest OS or 64-bit host OS.
