3.2 VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW

3.2.1 STACK-BASED BUFFER OVERFLOW CWE-121

The affected product is vulnerable to multiple stack-based buffer overflow conditions while parsing a specific project file, which may allow an attacker to locally execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2022-26419 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.2 IMPROPER RESTRICTION OF OPERATIONS WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF A MEMORY BUFFER CWE-119

The affected product is vulnerable to memory corruption while processing a specific project file, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2022-25959 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.3 USE AFTER FREE CWE-416

The affected product is vulnerable to a use after free memory condition while processing a specific project file, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2022-26417 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

3.2.4 OUT-OF-BOUNDS WRITE CWE-787

The affected product is vulnerable to an out-of-bounds write while processing a specific project file, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.

CVE-2022-26022 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v3 base score of 7.8 has been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
