Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7039)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: 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:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the tcp_emu() function in tcp_subr.c in libslirp. An attacker can issue specially crafted IRC DCC commands in EMU_IRC, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7211)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

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


The vulnerability allows an  attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within tftp.c in libslirp. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted TFPT request and read arbitrary files on the Windows system.
