Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU16063
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19416
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 out-of-bounds read in the remap_struct function in sa_common.c during a memmove call. A local attacker can control src and n of memmove, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.0
CPE2.3 External linkshttps://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2019-04/msg00044.html
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. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU16068
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19517
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in the remap_struct function in sa_common.c during a memmove call. A local attacker can make a memset call that submits malicious input, trigger memory corruption and cause the sadfcommand to crash or execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
