Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Memory leak

EUVDB-ID: #VU16047

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11037

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak in Exiv2::PngImage::printStructure function in pngimage.cpp. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input and gain access to arbitrary data or perform a denial of service attack.
