Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU12187
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 2.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1071
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DOS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the exec.c:hashcmd() function due to stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
Update the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.0

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU11349
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1083
CWE-ID:
CWE-120 - Buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists in the compctl.c source code file due to insufficient bounds checking on the PATH_MAX-sized buffer used for file completion candidates. A local attacker can create a malicious directory path, trick the victim into using the autocomplete functionality to traverse the path, trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
Update the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.0

3) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU11771
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1100
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in the utils.c:checkmailpath function. A local attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
