This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2283)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the pki_verify_data_signature() function in pki_crypto.c. The pki_key_check_hash_compatible() function can return SSH_OK value if memory allocation error happens later in the function. The  A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.


2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46908)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper implementation of the azProhibitedFunctions protection mechanism, which allows UDF functions such as WRITEFILE when relying on --safe for execution of an untrusted CLI script. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.


3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41105)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.


4) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5363)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing key and initialisation vector lengths in EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() and EVP_CipherInit_ex2() function. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The following ciphers and cipher modes are impacted: RC2, RC4, RC5, CCM, GCM and OCB.
