Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33202)

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 OpenSSL PEM encoded streams containing X.509 certificates. A remote attacker can send ASN.1 data through the PEMParser to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21742)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate MIME headers.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when using MIME4J DOM for composing message. A remote attacker can manipulate headers inside a MIME message.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29857)

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

The vulnerability exists due to library does not properly control consumption of internal resources when importing an EC certificate with specially crafted F2m parameters. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-30172)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in the Ed25519 verification code. A remote attacker can pass a specially signature and public key to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


5) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34447)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to hostname verification is performed against a DNS-resolved IP address when endpoint identification is enabled in the BCJSSE and an SSL socket is not created with an explicit hostname. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions.
