Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow')

EUVDB-ID: #VU96897

Risk: High

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45490

CWE-ID: CWE-124 - Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in xmlparse.c when handling negative length for XML_ParseBuffer. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger buffer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45491

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the dtdCopy() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
