Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.

1) Command injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU16067

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19518

CWE-ID: CWE-77 - Command injection

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to inject and execute arbitrary commands.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
dev-lang/php to version: 7.4.4

https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202003-57


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote authenticated user via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, a fully functional exploit for this vulnerability is available.

2) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU25109

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7059

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when using the "fgetss()" function to read data with stripping tags. A remote attacker can supply data that will cause this function to read past the allocated buffer, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or crash the application.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
