Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43790)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error within the do_search() function when performing a search and displaying the search-count message is disabled. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and use a specially crafted payload to search information, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and crash the editor.



2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-43802)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the ins_typebuf() function. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and crash the application.


3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45306)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and crash the application.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-1215)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing data passed via "--log" argument. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a file with a specially crafted argument, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


5) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22134)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24014)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
