liblouis vulnerabilities
Details
It was discovered that an illegal address access can be made in Liblouis. A remote attacker can take advantange of this to access sensitive information. (CVE-2017-13738, CVE-2017-13744)
It was discovered a heap-based buffer overflow that causes bytes out-of-bounds write in Liblouis. A remote attacker can use this to denial of service or remote code execution. (CVE-2017-13739)
It was discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in Liblouis. A remote attacker can use this to denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact. (CVE-2017-13740, CVE-2017-13742)

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
