CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID: 
CVE-2018-1125
DESCRIPTION: 
procps-ng procps is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143455 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID: 
CVE-2018-1124
DESCRIPTION: 
procps-ng procps could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by an integer overflow in the file2strvec function in libprocps. By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base Score: 7.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143454 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

CVEID: 
CVE-2018-1123
DESCRIPTION: 
procps-ng procps is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a mmap-based buffer overflow flaw in the ps function. By sending a specially crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143453 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: 
CVE-2018-1122
DESCRIPTION: 
procps-ng procps could allow a local authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by a flaw when the HOME environment variable is unset or empty. By sending a specially crafted request, an authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
CVSS Base Score: 7.8

CVEID: 
CVE-2018-1000301
DESCRIPTION: 
curl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by heap-based buffer over-read. By sending a specially crafted RTSP response, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and possibly obtain sensitive information or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143390 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: 
CVE-2018-1000300
DESCRIPTION: 
curl is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking when closing down an FTP connection with very long server command replies. By sending an overly long FTP shutdown response, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/143388 for the current score

CVEID: 
CVE-2018-0494
DESCRIPTION: 
GNU Wget could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by the failure to properly process Set-Cookie responses. By sending a specially crafted Set-Cookie -header request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary cookies into the cookie jar file and set and modify cookies on the target system.
CVSS Base Score: 7.5
