Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU85519

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45229

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing the IA_NA or IA_TA option in a DHCPv6 Advertise message. A remote attacker on the local network can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package ovmf to the latest version.
