| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Wayland (affected versions not specified)
Description
The issue is related to an integer overflow in the reference count of the buffer pool. This can occur when a large number of wl shm buffer objects are created or when the server is coerced into creating a large number of external references to the buffer storage. As a result, a use-after-free can be constructed on the wl shm pool tracking structure, allowing values to be incremented or decremented. Additionally, it may be possible to construct a limited oracle to leak 4 bytes of server-side memory to the attacking client at a time.
Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
