A possible out-of-bounds write caused by uninitialized data in multiple locations could enable remote privilege escalation without additional execution privileges or user interaction. The advisory does not identify affected products.
An out-of-bounds write caused by uninitialized data (CWE-457) that could enable remote privilege escalation without user interaction. The added CVSS v3.1 vector indicates network access, low attack complexity, low privileges required, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. This privileges requirement differs from the description's statement that no additional execution privileges are needed. The SSVC assessment records exploitation as 'none' and technical impact as 'total'.
