Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU65639
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27404
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in the "sfnt_init_face" function. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
