Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33195)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of data passed from DNS lookups. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS reqponse and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
2) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8565)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to authorization and bearer tokens will be written to log files if the logging level is set to at least 9. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33198)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when handling a large exponent to the math/big.Rat SetString or UnmarshalText method. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33197)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in some configurations of ReverseProxy (from net/http/httputil). A remote attacker can drop arbitrary headers and bypass authorization process.
5) Absolute Path Traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32803)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic issue when extracting tar files that contained both a directory
and a symlink with the same name as the directory. This order of
operations resulted in the directory being created and added to the node-tar
directory cache. When a directory is present in the directory cache,
subsequent calls to mkdir for that directory are skipped. However, this
is also where node-tar checks for symlinks occur.
By first creating a directory, and then replacing that directory with a symlink, it was thus possible to bypass node-tar
symlink checks on directories, essentially allowing an untrusted tar
file to symlink into an arbitrary location and subsequently extracting
arbitrary files into that location, thus allowing arbitrary file
creation and overwrite.
6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37712)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when extracting tar files that contained two directories and a symlink
with names containing unicode values that normalized to the same value. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive that, when extracted, can overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
7) Absolute Path Traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32804)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic issue when file paths contained repeated path roots such as ////home/user/.bashrc. node-tar
would only strip a single path root from such paths. When given an
absolute file path with repeating path roots, the resulting path (e.g. ///home/user/.bashrc) would still resolve to an absolute path, thus allowing arbitrary file creation and overwrite.
8) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34558)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate verification in crypto/tls package in Go when processing X.509 certificates. The application does not properly assert that the type of public key in an X.509 certificate matches the expected type when doing a RSA based key exchange, allowing a malicious TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic.
9) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37701)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when extracting tar files that contained both a directory and a symlink with
the same name as the directory, where the symlink and directory names in
the archive entry used backslashes as a path separator on posix
systems. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
10) Unprotected storage of credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11250)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to other users' credentials.
The vulnerability exists due Kubernetes client-go library logs request headers at verbosity levels of 7 or higher. This can disclose credentials to unauthorized users via logs or command output. Kubernetes components (such as kube-apiserver) prior to v1.16.0, which make use of basic or bearer token authentication, and run at high verbosity levels, are affected. A local user can view contents of the configuration file and gain access to passwords for 3rd party integration.
