Description

This security bulletin contains information about 22 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) External control of file name or path (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38546)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary cookies into request.

The vulnerability exists due to the way cookies are handled by libcurl. If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the file name as none (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).

Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to load cookies from would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named none - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the program using libcurl.

2) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28834)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a side-channel attack when using the gnutls_privkey_sign_data2 API function with the "GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE" flag. A remote attacker can launch Minerva attack and gain access to sensitive information.


3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21094)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.


4) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21068)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.


5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21012)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Networking component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.


6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21011)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.


7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1394)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the RSA encrypting/decrypting code when handling untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform denial of service attack.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52425)

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 when parsing large tokens. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) 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.


10) 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.


11) Expected behavior violation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28322)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a logic error when sending HTTP POST and PUT requests using the same handle. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT request which used that callback. As a result, the application can misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer.


12) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1023)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak when using Netty FastThreadLocal data structures. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


13) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6135)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a side-channel attack in multiple NSS NIST curves, known as "Minerva". A remote attacker can recover the private key and decrypt data passed between server and client.


14) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43618)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in mpz/inp_raw.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


15) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35939)

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

The vulnerability exist due to fix for CVE-2017-7500 and CVE-2017-7501 was incomplete: the check was only implemented for the parent directory of the file to be created. A local privileged user who owns another ancestor directory could potentially use this flaw to gain root privileges.


16) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35938)

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

The vulnerability occurs when rpm sets the desired permissions and credentials after installing a file. A local privileged user can use this flaw to exchange the original file with a symbolic link to a security-critical file and escalate their privileges on the system.


17) Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35937)

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

The vulnerability exist due to race condition. A local privileged user can bypass the checks that were introduced in response to CVE-2017-7500 and CVE-2017-7501, potentially gaining root privileges.


18) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29025)

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application in HttpPostRequestDecoder. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


19) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45288)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient limitations placed on the amount of CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single HTTP/2 stream. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP/2 requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

20) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24783)

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

The vulnerability exists in crypto/x509 due to improper validation of a certificate chain that contains an unknown public key. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application and perform a denial of service attack.


21) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45290)

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

The vulnerability exists in net/http due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing a multipart form (either explicitly with Request.ParseMultipartForm or implicitly with Request.FormValue, Request.PostFormValue, or Request.FormFile). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


22) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1300)

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

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak in TCP servers configured with TLS and SNI support. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
