Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one low risk vulnerability.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU50427
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 4.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10769
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the crypto_authenc_extractkeys() function in crypto/authenc.c in the IPsec Cryptographic algorithm's module "authenc". A local low-privileged user can run a specially crafted program to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the system.
MitigationCybersecurity Help is currently unaware of any official solution to address this vulnerability.
