Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.
1) Segmentation fault
EUVDB-ID: #VU13194
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11577
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in the lou_logPrint function, as defined in the logging.c source code file. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input, trigger memory corruption and segmentation fault and cause the service to crash.
MitigationUpdate to version 3.6.0.
Vulnerable software versionsLiblouis: 3.5.0

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU13195
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11440
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in the parseChars function, as defined in the compileTranslationTable.csource code file, during table parsing operations. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
MitigationUpdate to version 3.6.0.
