CVSS v2.0
7.6
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Amaya versions 8.x before 8.8.5
Amaya version 9.4
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via buffer overflows. This can be achieved by providing a long value in certain attributes, such as the
COMPACT attribute of the COLGROUP element, the ROWS attribute of the TEXTAREA element, and the COLOR attribute of the LEGEND element. Other unspecified attack vectors are also possible.Recommendations
For Amaya versions 8.x before 8.8.5, update to version 8.8.5 or later.
For Amaya version 9.4, at the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the
COLGROUP, TEXTAREA, and LEGEND elements until a patch is available. Avoid using long values in the COMPACT, ROWS, and COLOR attributes of these elements to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
