Zoom slapped a “high-severity” rating on the more serious of the two vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-34423) and warned that the issue also affects a wide range of downstream components and SDKs.
“This can potentially allow a malicious actor to crash the service or application, or leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code,” Zoom said in a barebones advisory listing a range of affected products. The bug is described as a buffer overflow with a CVSS base score of 7.3.
Zoom also fixed a second memory corruption vulnerability (CVE-2021-34424) that allowed for the exposure of the state of process memory in multiple products and components.
“This issue could be used to potentially gain insight into arbitrary areas of the product’s memory,” according to Zoom’s advisory.
