Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU28904
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1283
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when Windows improperly handles objects in memory. A local user can use a specially crafted application, or convince a user to open a specific file on a network share, trigger memory corruption and cause the system to stop responding.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU28905
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1300
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
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 Windows fails to properly handle cabinet files. A remote authenticated attacker can convince a victim to either open a specially crafted cabinet file or spoof a network printer and trick a user into installing a malicious cabinet file disguised as a printer driver, leading to remote code execution.
