Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41723)

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 the HPACK decoder. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 stream to the application, cause resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41724)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in crypto/tls when handling large TLS handshake records. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert).


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41725)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper control over internal resources in net/http and mime/multipart. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41722)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within the filepath.Clean() function on Windows, which can transform an invalid path such as "a/../c:/b" into the valid path "c:". As a result, an attacker can read arbitrary files on the system.
