Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24607)
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 the Qt SQL ODBC driver plugin. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32762)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Qt Network incorrectly parses the strict-transport-security (HSTS) header, allowing unencrypted connections to be established, even when explicitly prohibited by the server. A remote attacker with ability to intercept network traffic can gain access to sensitive data.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33285)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to buffer over-read via a crafted reply from a DNS server within the QDnsLookup() function in src/network/kernel/qdnslookup_unix.cpp. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
4) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34410)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of TLS certificate chain, where application does not always consider whether the root of a chain is a configured CA certificate. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.
5) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38197)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when handling recursive expansions. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
