Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21123)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in Intel processors due to excessive data output when DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) is utilized. An attacker (both local and remote) with administrative access to a virtual machine that has an attached DirectPath I/O (PCI-Passthrough) device can obtain information stored in physical memory about the hypervisor or other virtual machines that reside on the same host.



2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34305)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed to the form authentication example in the examples web application. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link 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.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-25032)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when compressing data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21708)

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 "php_filter_float()" function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that uses the affected PHP function, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the php-fpm process.


5) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31813)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in mod_proxy implementation, where the web server may not send the X-Forwarded-* headers to the origin server based on client side Connection header hop-by-hop mechanism. A remote attacker can bypass IP based authentication on the origin server/application and gain access to otherwise restricted functionality.
