Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU8033
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-2779
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code execution.
The weakness exists in the RSRC segment parsing functionality of LabVIEW due to out-of-bounds write when parsing of virtual instrument (VI) files. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted VI file, trick the victim into opening it, cause a controlled looping condition, trigger arbitrary null write and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
