Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30551)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when verifying JAR files. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted JAR file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) 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.


3) 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.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1192)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the smb2_is_status_io_timeout() function in Linux kernel. A local user can set environment variable to a specific value, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2163)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in BPF verifier caused by improper marking of registers for precision tracking in certain situations. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
