DescriptionCVE.org

A locally exploitable buffer overflow bug can cause a local denial-of-service attack on affected versions of Zscaler Client Connector on Android and ChromeOS.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in Zscaler Client Connector on Android and ChromeOS allows local exploitation to trigger a denial-of-service condition against the connector process. The CVSS vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) assigns High confidentiality and integrity impact, creating a notable discrepancy with the vendor description, which characterizes impact as DoS only - this gap suggests the vulnerability may carry latent code-execution potential that the description does not fully disclose. …
