Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-6488)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in __memmove_avx_unaligned_erms in sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-vec-unaligned-erms.S during a memcpy due to application that runs on the x32 architecture incorrectly attempts to use a 64-bit register for size_t in assembly codes. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application using an affected library and cause segmentation fault.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-7309)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the memcmp function for the x32 architecture can incorrectly return zero (indicating that the inputs are equal) when the RDX most significant bit is mishandled. A local attacker can supply specially crafted input and cause the application to crash.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9169)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read via an attempted case-insensitive regular-expression match. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack or gain access to sensitive information.
4) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10029)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within "sysdeps/ieee754/ldbl-96/e_rem_pio2l.c" in GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6). An attacker can pas specially crafted input to the application and trigger a stack-based buffer overflow.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system or denial of service conditions.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1751)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the "backtrace" function when handling signal trampolines on PowerPC. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
