Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20698)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the OOXML parsing module. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted OOXML file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20770)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in the CHM file parser. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20771)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in the TIFF file parser. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
4) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20785)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak when parsing HTML files. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted HTML file to the antivirus software, trigger memory leak and perform denial of service attack.
5) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20792)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the signature database load module. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, 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.
6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20796)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the scan verdict cache check. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-20803)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the OLE2 file parser. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20032)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the HFS+ partition file parser. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, 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.
9) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20052)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to enabling XML entity substitution. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the antivirus and view bytes from any file that may be read by the ClamAV scanning process.
