Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU88822
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2961
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
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 within the iconv() function when converting string to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger a 4 byte buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate the affected package glibc to the latest version.
