Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34050)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data. A remote user can write messages to the RabbitMQ broker and send malicious content to the server.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34462)

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 if no idle timeout handler was configured. A remote attacker can send a client hello packet, which leads the server to buffer up to 16MB of data per connection and results in a denial of service condition.


3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40167)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when handling the "+" character passed via the HTTP/1 header field. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP 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.


4) 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.


5) 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.


6) 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.

7) 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.


8) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1370)

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

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when processing nested arrays and objects. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted JSON data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
