Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45853)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the zipOpenNewFileInZip4_64() function from MiniZip. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29267)

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

The vulnerability occurs when selecting from certain types of tables. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25710)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing a corrupt DUMP file. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26308)

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 memory when unpacking a broken Pack200 file. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28762)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28757)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input when using external parsers via XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.


7) 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.


8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29131)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass specialy crafted data to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


9) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29133)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when calling the ListDelimiterHandler.flatten(Object, int) with a cyclical object tree. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-31880)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-31881)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
