GHSA-R929-9699-QX4Q

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-15 21:31 – Updated: 2026-01-15 21:31
VLAI
Details

An Untrusted Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local, authenticated attacker with low privileges to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

When the command 'show route < ( receive-protocol | advertising-protocol ) bgp > detail' is executed, and at least one of the routes in the intended output has specific attributes, this will cause an rpd crash and restart. 'show route ... extensive' is not affected.

This issue affects:

Junos OS: 

  • all versions before 22.4R3-S8,
  • 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5,
  • 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S5,
  • 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2,
  • 24.4 versions before 24.4R2;

Junos OS Evolved:

  • all versions before 22.4R3-S8-EVO, 
  • 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5-EVO,
  • 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6-EVO,
  • 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2-EVO,
  • 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-EVO.

Details

Untrusted pointer dereference for some Intel(R) QAT Windows software before version 2.6.0. within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

GHSA-RQMQ-GHQ5-F54H

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-05-24 19:05 – Updated: 2023-10-03 15:30
VLAI
Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of OpenText Brava! Desktop 16.6.3.84. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of SLDPRT files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied value prior to dereferencing it as a pointer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-12659.

CAPEC-129: Pointer Manipulation

This attack pattern involves an adversary manipulating a pointer within a target application resulting in the application accessing an unintended memory location. This can result in the crashing of the application or, for certain pointer values, access to data that would not normally be possible or the execution of arbitrary code. Since pointers are simply integer variables, Integer Attacks may often be used in Pointer Attacks.
