Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4067)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability occurs in `micromatch.braces()` in `index.js` because the pattern `.*` will greedily match anything. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4603)
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 DSA keys and parameters. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Improper validation of certificate with host mismatch (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2466)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to libcurl does not check the server certificate of TLS connections done to a host specified as an IP address, when built to use mbedTLS. A remote attacker force the application to completely skip the certificate check and perform MitM attack.
4) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4068)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to NPM package `braces` fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. A remote attacker can send "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4741)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the SSL_free_buffers() function. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, the vulnerability affects only applications that call the vulnerable function.
6) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2379)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation for a QUIC connection under certain conditions, when built to use wolfSSL. A remote attacker can force the application to ignore the certificate and perform MitM attack.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the used wolfSSL library was built with the OPENSSL_COMPATIBLE_DEFAULTS symbol set, which is not set for the recommended configure --enable-curl builds.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2004)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when a protocol selection parameter option disables all protocols without adding any. As a result, the default set of protocols would remain in the allowed set due to an error in the logic for removing protocols.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2511)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to unbounded memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option is being used in TLSv1.3.
9) Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2398)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when sending HTTP/2 server push responses with an overly large number of headers. A remote attacker can send PUSH_PROMISE frames with an excessive amount of headers to the application, trigger memory leak and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
