3) Segmentation fault
EUVDB-ID: #VU83267
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5676
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local privileged user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to JVM can be forced into an infinite busy hang on a spinlock or a segmentation fault if a shutdown signal (SIGTERM, SIGINT or SIGHUP) is received before the JVM has finished initializing. A local privileged user can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
