Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
Updated: 12.07.2020
Updated list of affected and fixed versions for all vulnerabilities, changed bulletin status to fixed.
1) Division by zero
EUVDB-ID: #VU19183
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13390
CWE-ID:
CWE-369 - Divide By Zero
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a divide-by-zero condition in the "adx_write_trailer" function in the "libavformat/rawenc.c" file. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the affected application.
Install update from vendor's website.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU19233
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13312
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing media files in block_cmp() function in libavcodec/zmbvenc.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted media file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
