Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU50329
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 2.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-25013
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in GNU C Library within the iconv feature when processing multi-byte input sequences in the EUC-KR encoding. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU26388
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10029
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within "sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/e_rem_pio2l.c" in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6). An attacker can pas specially crafted input to the application and trigger a stack-based buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system or denial of service conditions.

3) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU50362
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-29573
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary within the sysdeps/i386/ldbl2mpn.c in the GNU C Library on x86 systems. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application that uses the vulnerable version of glibc and crash it.
