Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2816)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists in the tag parsing functionality due to out-of-bounds write when handling malicious input. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted OFX file, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
2) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2920)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
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:P/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists in the .svg parsing functionality of Computerinsel PhotoLine due to boundary error. A remote attacker can submit a malicious SVG file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
