CVE-2018-1123 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:11 procps to version 2:3.3.15-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream procps package and not the procps package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
procps-ng before version 3.3.15 is vulnerable to a denial of service in ps via mmap buffer overflow. Inbuilt protection in ps maps a guard page at the end of the overflowed buffer, ensuring that the impact of this flaw is limited to a crash (temporary denial of service).
