Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Security restrictions bypass

EUVDB-ID: #VU7237

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000365,CVE-2017-7482

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to the failure to take the argument and environment strings passed through RLIMIT_STACK/RLIM_INFINITY (1/4 of the size) into account when imposing a size restriction. A local attacker can bypass security limitation and perform unauthorized actions.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in access to the system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

4) Double-free memory error

EUVDB-ID: #VU14490

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10902

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to double-free memory error in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() in 'rawmidi.c'. A local attacker can gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code.

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