Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU23042
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-8675
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-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 SNMP requests within the asn1_get_type() function in cups/snmp.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted SNMP request to the CUPS service, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

2) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU23040
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-8696
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-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 SNMP requests within the asn1_get_packed() function in cups/snmp.c. A remote attacker with access to the the SNMP service can send a specially crafted request to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer oveflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
