Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20892)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the DCERPC protocol implementation. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the server, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20893)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in DCERPC protocol implementation. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the server, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20894)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in DCERPC protocol implementation. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20895)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in DCERPC protocol implementation. A remote attacker can send specially crafted traffic to the server to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system. The obtain information can be used to bypass authentication process and compromise the system.


5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20896)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within DCERPC protocol implementation. A remote attacker can send specially crafted packets to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash vmcad, vmdird, or vmafdd services.
