Description

This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) 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.


2) Inadequate Encryption Strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3089)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists within the OpenShift container platform configuration with enabled FIPS mode, which resulted in usage of not validated cryptographic modules. A remote attacker can perform various attacks against not validated cryptographic modules and gain access to sensitive information.


3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3153)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper rate limitation in the service monitor MAC. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack against deployments with CoPP enabled and properly configured.


4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3978)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29824)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in Py_FindObjects() function. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-37788)

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


7) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39318)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the html/template package when handling HMTL-like "<!--" and "-->" comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.


8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39319)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists within the html/template package caused by improperly applied rules for handling occurrences of "<script", "<!--", and "</script" within JS literals in <script> contexts. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.


9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39321)

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 crypto/tls when processing  post-handshake message on QUIC connections. A remote attacker can send an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39322)

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 crypto/tls when processing  post-handshake message on QUIC connections. A remote attacker can send an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39325)

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can bypass the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting by creating new connections while the current connections are still being processed, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
