Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU2544
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-7547
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in in the (1) send_dg and (2) send_vc functions in the libresolv library. A remote attacker can use a crafted DNS response that triggers a call to the getaddrinfo function with the AF_UNSPEC or AF_INET6 address family, related to performing "dual A/AAAA DNS queries" and the libnss_dns.so.2 NSS module, cause memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

2) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU1914
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N/E:F/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-0800
CWE-ID:
CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of weak SSLv2 protocol, which requires to send a ServerVerify message before establishing that a client possesses certain plaintext RSA data. A remote attacker can decrypt TLS ciphertext data by leveraging a Bleichenbacher RSA padding oracle.
The vulnerability is dubbed "DROWN" attack.
