Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU60677
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/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-2022-23803
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Gerber Viewer gerber and excellon coordinates parsing functionality within "ReadXYCoord". A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a specially crafted gerber or excellon file, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate kicad package to version 5.1.9+dfsg1-1+deb11u1.
Vulnerable software versionsDebian Linux: All versions
kicad (Debian package): before 5.1.9+dfsg1-1+deb11u1

2) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU60678
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/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-2022-23804
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Gerber Viewer gerber and excellon coordinates parsing functionality within "ReadIJCoord". A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a specially crafted gerber or excellon file, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

3) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU60261
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/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-2022-23946
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in "GCodeNumber" in the Gerber Viewer gerber and excellon GCode/Dcode parsing functionality. A remote unauthenticated attacker can #CONDITION2#, trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
