Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource management error
EUVDB-ID: #VU68829
Risk: Medium
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-2022-40304
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists in entities.c due to the way libxml2 handles reference cycles. The library does not anticipate that entity content can be allocated from a dict and clears it upon reference cycle detection by setting its first byte to zero. This can lead to memory corruption issues, such as double free errors and result in a denial of service.
Install update from vendor's website.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU66153
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-2022-37434
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
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 a large gzip header within inflateGetHeader in inflate.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the affected application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
