Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU9458
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8816
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in the NTLM authentication process. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use vectors involving long user and password fields, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
Update to version 7.57.0.
Vulnerable software versionslibcurl: 7.56.0 - 7.56.1

EUVDB-ID: #VU9459
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8817
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect the target client to an arbitrary site.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in the FTP wildcard function (CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH). A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a string that ends with an '[' character, trigger out-of-bounds read and cause the target connected libcurl client to be redirected.
MitigationUpdate to version 7.57.0.

EUVDB-ID: #VU9460
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8818
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to too little memory is allocated for interfacing to an SSL library. A remote attacker can trigger a memory allocation error in SSL-related code and cause the application to crash.
