https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-4016
02 Aug 2023 — Under some circumstances, this weakness allows a user who has access to run the “ps” utility on a machine, the ability to write almost unlimited amounts of unfiltered data into the process heap. A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the procps project when handling untrusted input with the -C option. This issue may allow a user with "ps" utility access to write unfiltered data into the process heap, triggering an out-of-bounds write, consuming memory and causing a crash, resulting in a den... • https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps • CWE-122: Heap-based Buffer Overflow CWE-787: Out-of-bounds Write •

CVE-2018-1121 – Procps-ng - Multiple Vulnerabilities
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-1121
22 May 2018 — procps-ng, procps is vulnerable to a process hiding through race condition. Since the kernel's proc_pid_readdir() returns PID entries in ascending numeric order, a process occupying a high PID can use inotify events to determine when the process list is being scanned, and fork/exec to obtain a lower PID, thus avoiding enumeration. An unprivileged attacker can hide a process from procps-ng's utilities by exploiting a race condition in reading /proc/PID entries. This vulnerability affects procps and procps-ng... • https://packetstorm.news/files/id/147806 • CWE-362: Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition') CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition •
