Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-5010)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

A remote attacker can send a request to initiate a Transport Layer Security (TLS) connection using an X509 certificate that submits malicious input, trigger a NULL pointer dereference condition that causes the application to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.


2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1060)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on he target system.

The weakness exists due to the way catastrophic backtracking was implemented in apop() method in pop3lib. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash.
