    computer labs

    Details

    Nicolas Ruff discovered that iTALC had buffer overflows,
    divide-by-zero errors and didn't check malloc return values. A
    remote attacker could use these issues to cause a denial of
    service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-6051,
    CVE-2014-6052, CVE-2014-6053, CVE-2014-6054, CVE-2014-6055)

    Josef Gajdusek discovered that iTALC had heap-based buffer
    overflow vulnerabilities. A remote attacker could used these
    issues to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary
    code. (CVE-2016-9941, CVE-2016-9942)

    It was discovered that iTALC had an out-of-bounds write, multiple
    heap out-of-bounds writes, an infinite loop, improper
    initializations, and null pointer vulnerabilities. A remote
    attacker could used these issues to cause a denial of service or
    possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-15127, CVE-2018-20019,
