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) 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.


3) 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.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25048)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking. A remote attacker can overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the server to crash.


5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20952)

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

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


6) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33850)

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

The vulnerability exists due to timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker can send an overly large number of trial messages for decryption and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


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) 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.
