Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU54560
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 7.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33574
CWE-ID:
CWE-416 - Use After Free
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the mq_notify() function in the GNU C Library. A remote attacker can force the library to use the notification thread attributes object (passed through its struct
sigevent parameter) after it has been freed by the caller, leading to a
denial of service or possibly remote code execution.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's repository.
