#buffer_overflow

** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** dtprintinfo in Common Desktop Environment 1.6 has a bug in the parser of lpstat (an invoked external command) during listing of the names of available printers. This allows low-privileged local users to inject arbitrary printer names via the $HOME/.printers file. This injection allows those users to manipulate the control flow and disclose memory contents on Solaris 10 systems. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** A stack-based buffer overflow in ParseColors in libXm in Common Desktop Environment 1.6 can be exploited by local low-privileged users via the dtprintinfo setuid binary to escalate their privileges to root on Solaris 10 systems. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

Buffer overflow vulnerability in function avc_parse_slice in file media_tools/av_parsers.c. GPAC version 2.3-DEV-rev1-g4669ba229-master.

Solaris 10 CDE local privilege escalation exploit that achieves root by injecting a fake printer via lpstat and uses a buffer overflow in libXM ParseColors().

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered across Common Desktop Environment version 1.6, Motif version 2.1, and X.Org libXpm versions prior to 3.5.15 on Oracle Solaris 10 that can be chained together to achieve root.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5814-1 - Kyle Zeng discovered that the sysctl implementation in the Linux kernel contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. Tamás Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

NetChess version 2.1 suffers from a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Ubuntu Security Notice 5813-1 - It was discovered that the NFSD implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some RPC messages, leading to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Tamás Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP handshake implementation in the Linux kernel contained multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.

wolfSSL versions prior to 5.5.2 suffer from a heap buffer over-read with WOLFSSL_CALLBACKS and can be triggered with a single Client Hello message.

A suspected China-nexus threat actor exploited a recently patched vulnerability in Fortinet FortiOS SSL-VPN as a zero-day in attacks targeting a European government entity and a managed service provider (MSP) located in Africa. Telemetry evidence gathered by Google-owned Mandiant indicates that the exploitation occurred as early as October 2022, at least nearly two months before fixes were
