Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-25013)
The 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.
2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10029)
The 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 (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-29573)
The 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.
