Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1674)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service attack.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1725)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2124)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in textobject.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2125)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in indent.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2126)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in spellsuggest.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2175)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in ex_getln.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2183)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in indent.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2206)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in term.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
9) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2304)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in spell_dump_compl() function at spell.c:4038. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file to trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
