Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2817)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in the ISO parsing functionality of Power Software Ltd PowerISO. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted ISO file, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability result in arbitrary code execution.
2) Use-after-free error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2823)
