Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Insufficient Entropy (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4238)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient entropy when generating alphanumeric strings within RandomAlphaNumeric and CryptoRandomAlphaNumeric functions, which always return strings containing at least one digit from 0 to 9. A remote attacker can launch brute-force attacks and gain access to sensitive information.


2) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41717)

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive memory growth when handling HTTP/2 server requests. HTTP/2 server connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately 64 MiB per open connection.
