Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) NULL pointer dereference

EUVDB-ID: #VU55916

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38604

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the "sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mq_notify.c" file within NOTIFY_REMOVED data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU54560

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-2021-33574

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the mq_notify() function in the GNU C Library. A remote attacker can force the library to use the notification thread attributes object (passed through its struct sigevent parameter) after it has been freed by the caller, leading to a denial of service or possibly remote code execution.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
