Description
This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39326)
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 handling HTTP chunked requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the server and consume excessive memory resources.
2) 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.3) 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.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-37788)
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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) 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.
6) 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.
7) 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.
8) 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.
9) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3446)
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 DH_check(), DH_check_ex() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() function when processing a DH key or DH parameters. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3817)
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 when checking the long DH keys. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5678)
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 DH_generate_key() and DH_check_pub_key() functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-7104)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the sessionReadRecord() function in ext/session/sqlite3session.c when processing a corrupt changeset. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service attack.
13) 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.
14) 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).
none - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the program using libcurl. 15) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39615)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the xmlSAX2StartElement() function in /libxml2/SAX2.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) 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.
17) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2961)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the iconv() function when converting string to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger a 4 byte buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
18) 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.
