The vulnerability exists due to library does not properly control consumption of internal resources when importing an EC certificate with specially crafted F2m parameters. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27280)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the "ungetbyte" and "ungetc" methods. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
13) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33883)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can add or modify properties of Object.prototype using a __proto__ or constructor payload to execute arbitrary code on the system.
14) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42365)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the copyvar() function in awk.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to pass a specially crafted awk pattern to the application and crash it.
15) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42364)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42363)
