Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU11631

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18233

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Chunk class in the source code file XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/RIFF.cpp due to integer overflow and infinite loop when handling Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data in .avifiles. A remote attacker can trick the victim into accessing a specially crafted .avi file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

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) Infinite loop

EUVDB-ID: #VU11880

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18236

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the ASF_Support::ReadHeaderObject function in the source code file XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/ASF_Support.cpp due to infinite loop when handling .asf files. A remote attacker can trick the victim into accessing a specially crafted .asf file and cause the service to crash.
