Vulnerability identifier: #VU7660

CSH Severity: Low

CVSS v4: 6.9 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5337

CWE-ID: CWE-122

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

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.
