Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU13949
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-2018-14404
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists in the xmlXPathCompOpEval() function, as defined in the path.c source code file due to improper parsing of invalid XPath expressions in the XPATH_OP_AND and XPATH_OP_OR cases. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input to an application that is using the affected library, trigger a NULL pointer dereference and cause the application to crash.
Update the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.0

EUVDB-ID: #VU15710
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16468
CWE-ID:
CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to unsanitized JavaScript that is included in sanitized output. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
