Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Path traversal

EUVDB-ID: #VU69174

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36400

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in the installer software. A local user can send a specially crafted HTTP request and gain elevated privileges on the system.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
