FAQ

According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does this mean for this vulnerability? An attacker would need specific conditions to be in place (i.e. particular protocol settings, or configurations, etc.) before an attack could succeed, which reduces the likelihood of widespread or opportunistic exploitation. How could an attacker exploit the vulnerability? An attacker could attempt to trigger the vulnerability by causing an error during the handling of specially crafted data, which may lead the affected component to incorrectly free memory it does not own. If successful, this could allow the attacker to run code in the context of the affected process.
