Description
This security bulletin contains information about 31 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27290)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of SRIs. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) attack.

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to comrpomise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the affected software allows ECDSA signature malleability via variations in encoding, leading "\0" bytes, or integer overflows. A remote attacker can cause a security-relevant impact if an application relied on a single canonical signature.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8855)
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. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28498)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.The vulnerability exists due to cryptographic issues in the secp256k1 implementation in elliptic/ec/key.js. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted public key point to the application and gain access to sensitive information.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32640)
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 "Sec-Websocket-Protocol" header. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Prototype Pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7608)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and add or modify properties of Object.prototype using a "__proto__" payload.
7) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37713)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due insufficient logic on Windows systems when extracting tar files that contained a path that
was not an absolute path, but specified a drive letter different from
the extraction target, such as C:some\path. If the drive letter does not match the extraction target, for example D:\extraction\dir, then the result of path.resolve(extractionDirectory, entryPath) would resolve against the current working directory on the C: drive, rather than the extraction target directory.
8) Absolute Path Traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32803)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic issue when extracting tar files that contained both a directory
and a symlink with the same name as the directory. This order of
operations resulted in the directory being created and added to the node-tar
directory cache. When a directory is present in the directory cache,
subsequent calls to mkdir for that directory are skipped. However, this
is also where node-tar checks for symlinks occur.
By first creating a directory, and then replacing that directory with a symlink, it was thus possible to bypass node-tar
symlink checks on directories, essentially allowing an untrusted tar
file to symlink into an arbitrary location and subsequently extracting
arbitrary files into that location, thus allowing arbitrary file
creation and overwrite.
9) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7660)
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 in the function "deleteFunctions" within "index.js". A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Policy (set-value) component in Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core Policy. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-1000232)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the regular expression parsing flaw in HTTP request cookie header parsing. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7788)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trick the library into adding or modifying the properties of Object.prototype, using a constructor or __proto__ payload, resulting in prototype pollution and loss of confidentiality, availability, and integrity.
16) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3918)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data during the validation of a JSON object. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted JSON file for validation and execute arbitrary code.
17) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37701)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.

the same name as the directory, where the symlink and directory names in
the archive entry used backslashes as a path separator on posix
systems. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
18) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20922)
