Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) 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.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6596)

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

The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for the Rapid Reset vulnerability #VU81728 (CVE-2023-44487). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32190)

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

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


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41723)

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 in the HPACK decoder. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 stream to the application, cause resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) 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.
