Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24790)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify application behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in net/netip within multiple methods, e.g. IsPrivate, IsLoopback. The affected methods return false for addresses which would return true in their traditional IPv4 forms, leading to potential bypass of implemented security features.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34156)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to encoding/gob does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Decoder.Decode. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, this vulnerability is related to #VU66068 (CVE-2024-34156).
3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24786)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when parsing data in an invalid JSON format within the protojson.Unmarshal() function. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24789)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate data.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in archive/zip when handling zip archives. A remote attacker can create a zip file with content that will vary depending on the implementation reading the file.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24791)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of "Expect: 100-continue" HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send multiple such requests and consume all available resources.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34155)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to go/parser does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34158)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to go/build/constraint does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Parse on a "// +build" build tag line with deeply nested expressions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
