Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32206)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure processing of compressed HTTP responses. A malicious server can send a specially crafted HTTP response to curl and perform a denial of service attack by forcing curl to spend enormous amounts of allocated heap memory, or trying to and returning out of memory errors.
2) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32208)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of message verification failures when performing FTP transfers secured by krb5. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and manipulate data.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2526)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the on_stream_io() and dns_stream_complete() functions in resolved-dns-stream.c, which do not increment the reference counting for the DnsStream object. A remote attacker can send to the system specially crafted DNS responses, trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30630)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Glob on a path that contains a large number of path separators. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30635)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Decoder.Decode on a message which contains deeply nested structures. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32148)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to unexpected behavior of httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP. When the method is called with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, ReverseProxy would set the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header, contrary to its documentation.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30631)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in Reader.Read method when handling an archive that contains a large number of concatenated 0-length compressed files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30632)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Glob on a path that contains a large number of path separators. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28131)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Decoder.Skip when parsing a deeply nested XML document. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30633)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Unmarshal on a XML document into a Go struct which has a nested field that uses the any field tag. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1705)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of Transfer-Encoding headers in HTTP/1 responses. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/1 response to the client and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-46828)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to library improperly handles idle TCP connections. A remote attacker can exhaust the file descriptors of a process that uses libtirpc and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
