Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Access of Uninitialized Pointer
EUVDB-ID: #VU98428
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9258
CWE-ID:
CWE-824 - Access of Uninitialized Pointer
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the lack of proper initialization of a pointer within the parsing of SID files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

2) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU98435
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9261
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted SID file, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

5) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU98429
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9767
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted SID file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system, leading to arbitrary code execution.
