Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37454)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the Keccak XKCP SHA-3 reference implementation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system or eliminate expected cryptographic properties.

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


2) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42919)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to Python multiprocessing library, when used with the forkserver start method on Linux allows pickles to be deserialized from any user in the same machine local network namespace, which in many system configurations means any user on the same machine.A local user can execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the any forkserver process.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45061)

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

The vulnerability exists due to usage of an unnecessary quadratic algorithm in one path when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted name to he decoder, trigger resource excessive CPU consumption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
