Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6257)
The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the affected system.

3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24789)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate data.
