Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU50780
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 7.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8625
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 within the SPNEGO implementation in the GSS-TSIG extension. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS request to the server, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationCybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
