Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow') (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45490)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in xmlparse.c when handling negative length for XML_ParseBuffer. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger buffer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the system.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45491)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the dtdCopy() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45492)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the nextScaffoldPart() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Creation of Temporary File With Insecure Permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4030)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a directory returned by tempfile.mkdtemp() would not always have permissions set to restrict reading and writing to the temporary directory by other users instead usually inheriting the correct permissions from the default location. A local user can gain access to potentially sensitive information stored in temporary files.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that an alternate configuration or users without a profile directory.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7592)
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 within the 'http.cookies' standard library module when parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters in the cookie value. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Incorrect provision of specified functionality (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4032)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists within the "ipaddress" module that contains incorrect information and private and public IP addresses for IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. This affects the is_private and is_global properties of the
ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and
ipaddress.IPv6Network classes. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions based on IP addresses or perform other actions, depending on the application's capabilities.
8) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6232)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of .tar archives when processing it with regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27043)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass filtration.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing email address with a special character. A remote attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain.
10) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8088)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the the CPython "zipfile" module affecting "zipfile.Path". A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
11) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6923)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of newlines for email headers when
serializing an email message. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary headers into serialized email messages.
