Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.


1) Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25660)

CWE-ID: CWE-788 - Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted data and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


2) Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25661)

CWE-ID: CWE-788 - Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted data and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


3) Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25662)

CWE-ID: CWE-755 - Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the affected software fails to handle an exception properly if the program execution process is modified. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted packet and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27383)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the server Tight encoder. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


5) Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27384)

CWE-ID: CWE-788 - Access of Memory Location After End of Buffer

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the device layout handler represented by a binary data stream on client side. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on th target system.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27385)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to a SmartVNC device layout handler on the client side, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27386)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the device layout handler on client side. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
