Amazon Linux 2 Security Advisory: ALAS-2024-2681
Advisory Release Date: 2024-10-24 23:54 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2024-10-31 18:00 Pacific
Severity: Important

Issue Overview:

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the Compound Document Binary File format parser of the GNOME Project G Structured File Library (libgsf) version v1.14.52. A specially crafted file can result in an integer overflow when processing the directory from the file that allows for an out-of-bounds index to be used when reading and writing to an array. This can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-36474)

A specially crafted file can result in an integer overflow that allows for a heap-based buffer overflow when processing the sector allocation table. This can lead to arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-42415)
