Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24786)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when parsing data in an invalid JSON format within the protojson.Unmarshal() function. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
2) 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.
3) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5981)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform timing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. A remote attacker can perform timing sidechannel attack in RSA-PSK key exchange.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46218)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in curl that allows a malicious HTTP server to set "super cookies" that are then passed back to more origins than what is otherwise allowed or possible. A remote attacker can force curl to send such cookie to different and unrelated sites and domains.
5) Inadequate encryption strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-48795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), which mishandles the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5.
The vulnerability was dubbed "Terrapin attack" and it affects both client and server implementations.
6) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51385)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing user names, if a user name or host name has shell metacharacters, and this name is referenced by an expansion token in certain situations. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands via an untrusted Git repository.
7) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0553)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform timing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. A remote attacker can perform timing sidechannel attack in RSA-PSK key exchange.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fox for #VU83316 (CVE-2023-5981).
8) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0567)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when verifying a certificate chain with a cycle of cross signatures. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
