EUVDB-ID: #VU7552

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-10978

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in make_secret() function when processing RADIUS packets. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted RADIUS packet and crash the affected server.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

3) Out-of-bounds write

EUVDB-ID: #VU7558

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-2017-10984

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 in data2vp_wimax() function when processing WiMAX attributes with "continuation" flag.
