Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3064)

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 large YAML documents. A remote attacker can consume excessive amounts of CPU or memory and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4235)

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 YAML files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11254)

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

The Kubernetes API Server component in versions 1.1-1.14, and versions prior to 1.15.10, 1.16.7 and 1.17.3 allows an authorized user who sends malicious YAML payloads to cause the kube-apiserver to consume excessive CPU cycles while parsing YAML.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32149)

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

The vulnerability exists due to ParseAcceptLanguage does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Accept-Language header that will take a significant time to parse and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27116)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to link following issue in file profile.go in function MemProf. A local user can gain elevated privileges on the target system.


6) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27117)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to link following issue in file profile.go in function GetCPUProfile. A local user can gain elevated privileges on the target system.


7) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41721)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP/2 request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP/2 requests when using MaxBytesHandler. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41723)

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 in the HPACK decoder. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 stream to the application, cause resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
