SB20240613105 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Microsoft Azure and Dell APEX Cloud Platform Foundation Software

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) 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.

2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12912)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application in the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL) interface. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.

3) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8694)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the Linux kernel driver. A local user can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.

6) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2283)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the pki_verify_data_signature() function in pki_crypto.c. The pki_key_check_hash_compatible() function can return SSH_OK value if memory allocation error happens later in the function. The  A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.

7) Improper Neutralization of HTTP Headers for Scripting Syntax (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29406)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in HTTP/1 client when handling HTTP Host header. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request with a maliciously crafted Host header and inject additional headers or entire requests.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform cross-site scripting, cache poisoning or session hijacking attacks.

8) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38472)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion within the avahi_rdata_parse() function. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4408)

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 DNS messages. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50387)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing DNSSEC related records. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by forcing the DNS server to query a specially crafted DNSSEC zone and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50495)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the _nc_wrap_entry() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50868)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing DNSSEC related records. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by forcing the DNS server to query a specially crafted DNSSEC zone and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

13) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5517)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when querying RFC 1918 reverse zones. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS query and perform a denial of service attack.

14) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5679)

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

15) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6004)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in OpenSSH client. If an invalid user or hostname that contained shell metacharacters was passed to ssh(1), and a ProxyCommand, LocalCommand directive or "match exec" predicate referenced the user or hostname via %u, %h or similar expansion token, then an attacker who could supply arbitrary user/hostnames to ssh(1) could potentially perform command injection depending on what quoting was present in the user-supplied ssh_config(5) directive.

16) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6516)

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 processing specific recursive patterns. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack against the DNS resolver.

17) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6918)

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

The vulnerability exists due to libssh does not check for returned values of message digest (MD) operations in low memory conditions. A remote attacker can terminate the connection or force the library to use weak keys.
