Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Untrusted search path (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4883)

CWE-ID: CWE-426 - Untrusted Search Path

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to libXpm relies on the $PATH variable to run the command responsible for decompressing .Z or .gz files. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-44617)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the ParsePixels() function when handling XPM files with width set to 0 and a very large height value. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted XPM file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46285)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when handling unclosed comments in XPM images within the ParseComment() function. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted image and cause denial of service conditions.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24040)

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation within the parser of lpstat in dtprintinfo. A local user can inject arbitrary printer names via the $HOME/.printers file, manipulate the control flow and disclose memory contents on Solaris 10 systems.


5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24039)

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in ParseColors(). A local user can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the Solaris 10 system via the dtprintinfo setuid binary.
