Description

This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3491)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the skipwhite() function in charset.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.


2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3520)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the inc() function in misc2.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.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3591)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the bt_quickfix() function in buffer.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a use-after-free error  and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3705)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when handling files within the qf_update_buffer() function in quickfix.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


5) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4141)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to execute the CTRL-W gf in the expression used in the RHS of the substitute command, 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.


6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4292)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the did_set_spelllang() funtion in spell.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a use-after-free error  and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.


7) Incorrect Comparison (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4293)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.

The vulnerability exists due to a floating point exception within the num_divide() function in eval.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the application.


8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0049)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the build_stl_str_hl() function in buffer.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) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0051)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the msg_puts_printf(0 function in message.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, 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.


10) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0054)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the do_string_sub() function in eval.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


11) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0288)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the ml_append_int() function in memline.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.


12) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0433)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the same_leader() and utfc_ptr2len() function. 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.
