Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1471)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within the SnakeYaml's Constructor() class. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted yaml content to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4492)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the undertow client does not check the server identity presented by the server certificate in https connections. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.


3) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38752)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41853)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to missing authorization when using java.sql.Statement or java.sql.PreparedStatement in hsqldb. By default it is allowed to call any static method of any Java class in the classpath resulting in code execution.


5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41854)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing untrusted YAML files. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted YAML file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service attack.


6) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41881)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the HaProxyMessageDecoder when parsing a TLV with type of "PP2_TYPE_SSL". A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted message to consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45787)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper laxist permissions on the temporary files. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


8) Insecure Temporary File (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0482)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure creation of temporary files. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.


9) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1108)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop caused by an unexpected handshake status updated in SslConduit. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
