Description
This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3778)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3796)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3872)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3927)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Use of Uninitialized Variable (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3928)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to parsing uninitialized variable. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3984)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

7) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4019)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4193)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
9) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-46059)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the vim_regexec_multi() function in regexp.c in Vim. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0318)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
11) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0319)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
12) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0351)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
