Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU110177

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-48877

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the Shared String Table Record Parser implementation. A local attacker can use a speciall crafted file, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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

Mitigation

Update catdoc package to version 1:0.95-6~deb12u1.

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

catdoc (Debian package): before 1:0.95-6~deb12u1

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.

2) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU110178

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52035

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the OLE Document File Allocation Table Parser functionality. A local attacker can use a speciall crafted file, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

3) Integer underflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU110180

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-54028

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow in the OLE Document DIFAT Parser functionality. A local attacker can use a specially crafted file, trigger integer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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

Mitigation

Update catdoc package to version 1:0.95-6~deb12u1.
