Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU65661
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7860
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a heap-based buffer overflow in parse_unix function in core/ext/client_channel/parse_address.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted file the affected software, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU65663
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-2017-7861
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
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 in gpr_free() function in core/lib/support/alloc.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted file, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [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]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9431
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
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 in core/lib/iomgr/error.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
