Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25629)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The
vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the
ares__read_line() function when parsing local configuration files, such
as `/etc/resolv.conf`, `/etc/nsswitch.conf`, or `HOSTALIASES` file. A
local user can insert a NULL character as the first character in a new
line into one of the configuration files and crash the application.
2) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-42472)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue when mounting persistent directories. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link and escape sandbox.
3) 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.
4) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6345)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing URL in the package_index module of pypa/setuptools. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system via download functions.
5) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1737)
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 handling a very large number of RRs. Resolver caches and authoritative zone databases that hold significant numbers of RRs for the same hostname (of any RTYPE) can suffer from degraded performance as content is being added or updated, and also when handling client queries for this name.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1975)
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. If a server hosts a zone containing a "KEY" Resource Record, or a resolver DNSSEC-validates a "KEY" Resource Record from a DNSSEC-signed domain in cache, a client can exhaust resolver CPU resources by sending a stream of SIG(0) signed requests.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38428)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation of URL when parsing strings with semicolons within the scheme_leading_string() function in url.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted URL to the application and influence its behavior in which data that was supposed to be in the userinfo subcomponent is misinterpreted to be part of the host subcomponent.
8) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3933)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability occurs when executing an arraycopy sequence while the Concurrent Scavenge Garbage Collection cycle is active and the source and destination memory regions for arraycopy overlap. A local user can exploit the vulnerability to read and write to addresses beyond the end of the array range.
9) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34064)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the "xmlattr" filter. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
