Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU55299
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14409
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the "SDL_BlitCopy" in "video/SDL_blit_copy.c". A remote attacker can use a specially crafted .BMP file, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

2) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU55300
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14410
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the "Blit_3or4_to_3or4__inversed_rgb" in "video/SDL_blit_N.c". A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .BMP file, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
