Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU69337
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 5.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42898
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow within the S4U2Proxy handler on 32-bit systems. A remote user can send specially crafted request to the KDC server, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.
