Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36242)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when processing certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Covert Timing Channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25659)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

python-cryptography 3.2 is vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.


3) Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28363)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to urllib3 library for Python omits SSL certificate validation in some cases involving HTTPS to HTTPS proxies. The initial connection to the HTTPS proxy (if an SSLContext isn't given via proxy_config) doesn't verify the hostname of the certificate. This means certificates for different servers that still validate properly with the default urllib3 SSLContext will be silently accepted. A remote attacker can supply a valid SSL certificate for a different hostname and perform Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3177)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary within the PyCArg_repr in _ctypes/callproc.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the Python applications that accept floating-point numbers as untrusted input, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
