Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1343)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when validating OCSP response within the OCSP_basic_verify function. In the case where the (non-default) flag OCSP_NOCHECKS is used then the
response will be positive (meaning a successful verification) even in
the case where the response signing certificate fails to verify. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.
2) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1292)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the c_rehash script distributed by some operating systems. A remote attacker with ability to pass data to c_rehash script can and execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the script.
3) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2068)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the c_rehash script distributed by some operating systems. A remote attacker with ability to pass data to c_rehash script can and execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the script.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU62765 (CVE-2022-1292).
4) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2097)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimized implementation. Under specific circumstances OpenSSL does not encrypt the entire message and can reveal sixteen bytes of data that was preexisting in the memory that wasn't written. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.
