12) Double Free

EUVDB-ID: #VU71771

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 7.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25136

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the sshd(8) daemon. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send  specially crafted data to the application, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vendor believes exploitation of this vulnerability has limitations as double free occurs "in the unprivileged pre-auth process that is subject to chroot(2) and is further sandboxed on most major platforms". Nevertheless we assign a high risk to this vulnerability.
