Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1586)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the PCRE2 library in the compile_xclass_matchingpath() function of the pcre2_jit_compile.c file. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error, gain access to sensitive information or perform a denial of service attack.


2) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4304)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker can perform a Bleichenbacher style attack and decrypt data sent over the network.

To achieve a successful decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a very large number of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects all RSA padding modes: PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-OEAP and RSASVE.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0215)

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 BIO_new_NDEF function. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.



4) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0286)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or read memory contents.

In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.


5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20838)

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

libpcre in PCRE before 8.43 allows a subject buffer over-read in JIT when UTF is disabled, and X or R has more than one fixed quantifier, a related issue to CVE-2019-20454.


6) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2068)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the c_rehash script distributed by some operating systems. A remote attacker with ability to pass data to c_rehash script can and execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the script.

The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU62765 (CVE-2022-1292).


7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1587)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the get_recurse_data_length() function in pcre2_jit_compile.c when handling recursions in JIT-compiled regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the affected application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
