- Critical
Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29154)
The vulnerability allows a remote server to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the rsync client when processing file names. A remote malicious server overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory and subdirectories on the connected peer.
2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38177)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the ECDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40674)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the doContent() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that is using the affected library, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
4) 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.
