Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-20107)
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 mailcap module, which does not escape characters into commands discovered in the system mailcap file. A remote unauthenticated attacker can pass specially crafted data to the applications that call mailcap.findmatch with untrusted input and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.
2) Type conversion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10735)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion in algorithms with quadratic time complexity when using non-binary bases within the int() call. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the affected application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28861)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data in lib/http/server.py due to missing protection against multiple (/) at the beginning of URI path. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
