Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Use-after-free memory corruption in bzip2recover

EUVDB-ID: #VU12

Risk: Low

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3189

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause the target application to crash.

The vulnerability exists due to an use-after-free error in bzip2recover when handling bzip2 files. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted bzip2 archive and cause the target application to crash.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability will result in denial of service.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-5609

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within bhyve(8) hypervisor when processing TCP packets sent via the e1000 network adapters. A remote user with access to guest operating system can send specially crafted TCP packets, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the host system.

Mitigation
