WhatsApp Remote Memory Corruption
WhatsApp 2.18.31 and prior are affected. The application fails to properly filter user-supplied input and is prone to a remote memory corruption. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to remotely corrupt the memory of the application, forcing an unhandled exception in the context of the application that could potentially result in a denial-of-service condition and/or remote memory corruption.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to a version of WhatsApp that has patched this vulnerability.
