Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4527)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the getaddrinfo() function called with the AF_UNSPEC address family. A remote attacker with control over DNS server can send a DNS response via TCP larger than 2048 bytes, trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the application or gain access to potentially sensitive information.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that system is configured with no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4806)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the getaddrinfo() function. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4813)
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 gaih_inet() function when the getaddrinfo() function is called and the hosts database in
/etc/nsswitch.conf is configured with SUCCESS=continue or SUCCESS=merge. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4911)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48560)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free exists via heappushpop in heapq. A remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability to perform a denial of service attack.
6) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39705)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within the pickle module. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5569)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted zip file to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
