Trend Micro Deep Security OOB Read Allows Local Info Disclosure
CVE-2022-40708 Published on September 28, 2022
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.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2022-40708 is exploitable with local system access, and requires small amount of user privileges. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have a small impact on confidentiality, a small impact on integrity and availability.
Weakness Type
Out-of-bounds Read
The software reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer. Typically, this can allow attackers to read sensitive information from other memory locations or cause a crash. A crash can occur when the code reads a variable amount of data and assumes that a sentinel exists to stop the read operation, such as a NUL in a string. The expected sentinel might not be located in the out-of-bounds memory, causing excessive data to be read, leading to a segmentation fault or a buffer overflow. The software may modify an index or perform pointer arithmetic that references a memory location that is outside of the boundaries of the buffer. A subsequent read operation then produces undefined or unexpected results.
