2) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU10855

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18206

CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the utils.c source code file due to insufficient checks on buffer lengths for symlink expansion. A local attacker can send specially crafted input, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

3) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU11349

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1083

CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists in the compctl.c source code file due to insufficient bounds checking on the PATH_MAX-sized buffer used for file completion candidates. A local attacker can create a malicious directory path, trick the victim into using the autocomplete functionality to traverse the path, trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Stack-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU11771

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1100

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to stack-based buffer overflow in the utils.c:checkmailpath function. A local attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

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

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
