Descriptions

Two heap-overflow vulnerabilities exist in openSUSE/libsolv libsolv through 13 Dec 2020 in the decisionmap variable via the resolve_dependencies function at src/solver.c (line 1940 & line 1995), which could cause a remote Denial of Service.

Se presentan dos vulnerabilidades de desbordamiento de pila en openSUSE/libsolv libsolv versiones hasta el 13 de diciembre de 2020 en la variable decisionmap por medio de la función resolve_dependencies en src/solver.c (línea 1940 y línea 1995), que podría causar una denegación de servicio remota

A buffer over-read flaw was found in the test case reader in libsolv that created multiple out-of-bounds read symptoms. Depending on how client applications use libsolv, this flaw leads to a denial of service of the application if an attacker can supply crafted input to the test case reader.
