Descriptions

An Out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Trend Micro Deep Security 20 and Cloud One - Workload Security Agent for Windows could allow a local attacker to disclose sensitive information on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit these vulnerabilities. This vulnerability is similar to, but not identical to CVE-2022-40707 and 40708.

Una vulnerabilidad de lectura fuera de límites en Trend Micro Deep Security 20 y Cloud One - Workload Security Agent para Windows podría permitir a un atacante local divulgar información confidencial en las instalaciones afectadas. Tenga en cuenta que un atacante debe obtener primero la capacidad de ejecutar código con pocos privilegios en el sistema de destino para poder explotar estas vulnerabilidades. Esta vulnerabilidad es similar, pero no idéntica, a las CVE-2022-40707 y 40708

This vulnerability allows local attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected installations of Trend Micro Deep Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the User Mode Hooking Monitor Engine. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a read past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM.
