procps: Integer overflows leading to heap overflow in file2strvec

Multiple integer overflows leading to heap corruption flaws were discovered in file2strvec. These vulnerabilities can lead to privilege escalation for a local attacker who can create entries in procfs by starting processes, which will lead to crashes or arbitrary code execution in proc utilities...

procps: incorrect integer size in proc/alloc.* leading to truncation / integer overflow issues

A flaw was found where procps-ng provides wrappers for standard C allocators that took unsigned int instead of sizet parameters. On platforms where these differ such as x8664, this could cause integer truncation, leading to undersized regions being returned to callers that could then be overflowe...

CVE-2018-1122

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation in top. If a user runs top with HOME unset in an attacker-controlled directory, the attacker could achieve privilege escalation by exploiting one of several vulnerabilities in the configfile function...

CVE-2018-1123

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a denial of service in ps via mmap buffer overflow. Inbuilt protection in ps maps a guard page at the end of the overflowed buffer, ensuring that the impact of this flaw is limited to a crash temporary denial of service...

CVE-2018-1125

procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a stack buffer overflow in pgrep. This vulnerability is mitigated by FORTIFY, as it involves strncat to a stack-allocated string. When pgrep is compiled with FORTIFY as on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora, the impact is limited to a crash...
