Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Denial of service
EUVDB-ID: #VU7458
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-2017-8585
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper handling of web requests by Microsoft Common Object Runtime Library in .NET application. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted requests and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
