Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5337)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper processing of malicious OpenPGP certificates by the read_attribute function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted OpenPGP certificate, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5336)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper processing of malicious OpenPGP certificates by the cdk_pk_get_keyid function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted OpenPGP certificate, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
