Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU12269
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-5180
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in res_query in libresolv due to NULL pointer dereference. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash.
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsEMC Atmos: before 2.4.3 HF504
External linksQ & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU2075
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10012
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable system with root privileges.
The vulnerability exists in sshd due to a flaw in boundary checks in the shared memory manager that may be skipped by some optimizing compilers. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with root privileges. The issue is related to m_zback and m_zlib data structures.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a local user to elevate privileges.
Install update from vendor's website.
Vulnerable software versionsEMC Atmos: before 2.4.3 HF504
External linksQ & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
3) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU10790
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5732
CWE-ID:
CWE-120 - Buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the dhclient due to buffer overflow. A remote attacker can send specially crafted response, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
Install update from vendor's website.

4) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU14448
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12327
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in the Network Time Protocol Query (ntpq) program and Network Time Protocol daemon (ntpd) when handling malicious input. A local attacker can submit a long string argument for an IPv4 or IPv6 command-line parameter, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
