Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38749)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41854)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing untrusted YAML files. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted YAML file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service attack.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25857)
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 handling YAML files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38751)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted YAML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38752)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38750)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.7) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1471)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within the SnakeYaml's Constructor() class. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted yaml content to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18640)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Application Server (SnakeYAML) component in PeopleSoft Enterprise PT PeopleTools. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
