Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Off-by-one
EUVDB-ID: #VU61293
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3999
CWE-ID:
CWE-193 - Off-by-one Error
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error glibc getcwd() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that is using the affected library version, trigger an off-by-one error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU61294
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23218
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 svcunix_create() in the sunrpc module ib glibc. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that is using the affected library version, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
