5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-54494)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the OS kernel. A local user can create a read-only memory mapping that can be written to.
6) Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow') (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45490)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in xmlparse.c when handling negative length for XML_ParseBuffer. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger buffer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the system.
7) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-54492)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in Passwords due to software uses insecure communication channel to transmit sensitive information. A remote attacker with ability to intercept network traffic can gain access to sensitive data.
