Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-4559)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The
vulnerability exists due to improper validation of filenames in the
tarfile module in Python. A remote attacker can
create a specially crafted archive with symbolic links inside or
filenames that contain directory traversal characters (e.g. "..") and
overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
2) Type conversion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10735)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion in algorithms with quadratic time complexity when using non-binary bases within the int() call. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the affected application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45061)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of an unnecessary quadratic algorithm in one path when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted name to he decoder, trigger resource excessive CPU consumption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48560)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free exists via heappushpop in heapq. A remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability to perform a denial of service attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48564)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability occurs when processing malformed Apple Property List files in binary format. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27043)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass filtration.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing email address with a special character. A remote attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain.
