Description

This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24736)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when executing a crafted SELECT query. A local user can execute a specially crafted query to trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-29652)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when processing an authentication request message for the “gssapi-with-mic” method. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32189)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in
Float.GobDecode. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2283)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the pki_verify_data_signature() function in pki_crypto.c. The pki_key_check_hash_compatible() function can return SSH_OK value if memory allocation error happens later in the function. The  A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.


5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36227)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in libarchive. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24538)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in html/template when handling JavaScript templates that contain backticks in code. If a template contains a Go template action within a JavaScript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary JavaScript code into the Go template.


7) Improper Preservation of Permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28642)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper preservation of permissions in the AppArmor and SELinux when /proc inside the container is symlinked with a specific mount configuration. A remote attacker can gain access to the target application.


8) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29162)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to containers are incorrectly started with non-empty inheritable Linux process capabilities, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.


9) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0465)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when validating certificate policies in leaf certificates. A remote attacker that controls a malicious CA server can issue a certificate that will be validated by the application.


10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24534)

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 when parsing HTTP and MIME headers in net/textproto. A remote attacker can cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27664)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an HTTP/2 connection can hang during closing if shutdown were preempted by a fatal error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1667)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to multiple errors in kex implementation, related to kex guessing algorithm. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions.
