Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36980)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in decode_NXAST_RAW_ENCAP (called from ofpact_decode and ofpacts_decode) during the decoding of a RAW_ENCAP action. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the system, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32166)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the minimasks() function in flow.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the service.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4337)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when parsing Auto Attach TLV. A remote attacker can send specially crafted LLDP messages to the affected system, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system of perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4338)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow when parsing Auto Attach TLV. A remote attacker can send specially crafted LLDP messages to the affected system, trigger an integer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, by default interfaces are not configured to process LLDP messages.
