This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU87706
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29131
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass specialy crafted data to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

2) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU87744
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29133
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when calling the ListDelimiterHandler.flatten(Object, int) with a cyclical object tree. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
