Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU19178

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [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:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12900

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the BZ2_decompress() function in decompress.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive, trick the victim into opening it using the affected library, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

6) Incorrect authorization

EUVDB-ID: #VU100998

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9902

CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the ansible-core `user` module. A local user can silently create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control over the contents of the file as its owner.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
