Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU13375
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-2018-11806
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow when insufficient input and validation checking of Slirp networking back-end processes by the m_cat function, as defined in the slirp/mbuf.c source code file. A remote attacker can send malformed, fragmented packets, trigger memory corruption and cause the QEMU process to crash.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 42.3
External linkshttp://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-08/msg00012.html
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.
2) Denial of service
EUVDB-ID: #VU13520
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12891
CWE-ID:
CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists on x86 systems due to unspecified flaw. An adjacent attacker can invoke certain PV MMU operations to preempt the current vCPU, prevent use of a physical CPU and cause the system to crash.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 42.3
External linkshttp://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-08/msg00012.html
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the local network (LAN).
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
3) Security restrictions bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU13522
Risk: Low
