Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-08-03 03:16 - Updated: 2026-08-19 17:15
Severity
Summary
In geniezone, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege if a malicious actor has already obtained the System privilege. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. Patch ID: ALPS10965373; Issue ID: MSV-6935.
