Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21707)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary XML code.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the simplexml_load_file() PHP function when processing NULL byte character (e.g. %00). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted URL to the application and bypass implemented security restrictions.
2) 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.
3) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31625)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of uninitialized array in the pg_query_params() function. A remote attacker with ability to control query parameters can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the system.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31626)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing password in mysqlnd/pdo in mysqlnd_wireprotocol.c. A remote attacker with ability to control password that is passed via PDO to MySQL server can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31628)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the phar uncompressor code when processing "quines" gzip files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
6) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31629)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to the way PHP handles HTTP variable names. A remote attacker can set a standard insecure cookie in the victim's browser which is treated as a `__Host-` or `__Secure-` cookie by PHP applications.
7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-31630)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the imageloadfont() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the web application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
8) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37454)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the Keccak XKCP SHA-3 reference implementation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system or eliminate expected cryptographic properties.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
