MediumCVSS 6.8
Multiple format string vulnerabilities in mcrypt 2.6.8 and earlier might allow user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors involving (1) errors.c or (2) mcrypt.c.
-
MediumCVSS 6.8 EPSS 15.1%
Stack-based buffer overflow in the check_file_head function in extra.c in mcrypt 2.6.8 and earlier allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an encrypted file with a crafted header containing long salt data that is not properly handled during decryption.
-
MediumCVSS 5.0
Memory leak in libmcrypt before 2.5.5 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a large number of requests to the application, which causes libmcrypt to dynamically load algorithms via libtool.
-
HighCVSS 7.5
Multiple buffer overflows in libmcrypt before 2.5.5 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).
