Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17040)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in "contrib/pmdb2diag/pmdb2diag.c" due to a boundary condition when the level length is mishandled. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17041)
CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists in "contrib/pmaixforwardedfrom/pmaixforwardedfrom.c" due to a boundary error in the parser for AIX log messages. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
