Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU68895
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3602
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the email address field inside X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger a 4-byte buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that either a CA signs the malicious certificate or for the application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer.
Install update from vendor's website.

2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU68896
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3786
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The
vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the email
address field length inside a X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a
specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger a buffer overflow and crash the application.
