Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU12349
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-0848
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted BMP image, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash or execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU12350
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2015-4588
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists in the DecodeImage function due to heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted "run-length count" in an image in a WMF file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash or execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
