Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU80565
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4807
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input to the application and corrupt MM registers on Windows 64 platform, resulting in a denial of service condition.
