Description
This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39326)
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 when handling HTTP chunked requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the server and consume excessive memory resources.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41724)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in crypto/tls when handling large TLS handshake records. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert).
3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24539)
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 when handling angle brackets in CSS context. A remote attacker can inject 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.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41723)
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 in the HPACK decoder. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 stream to the application, cause resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29400)
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 when processing HTML attributes. 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.
6) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29403)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists within Go runtime due to application allows to execute setuid/setgid binaries without any restrictions. An attacker with ability to control the application flow can execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24534)
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 when parsing HTTP and MIME headers in net/textproto. A remote attacker can cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0727)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when processing fields in the PKCS12 certificate. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted certificate to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) State Issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6129)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation on PowerPC CPU based platforms if the CPU provides vector instructions. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Incorrect calculation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24532)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the ScalarMult and ScalarBaseMult methods of the P256 Curve may return an incorrect result if called with some specific unreduced scalars.
11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45283)
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
12) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24537)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains //line directives with very large line numbers. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
13) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24536)
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 mime/multipart and net/textproto components when parsing multipart forms. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted request to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41725)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper control over internal resources in net/http and mime/multipart. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41722)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within the filepath.Clean() function on Windows, which can transform an invalid path such as "a/../c:/b" into the valid path "c:". As a result, an attacker can read arbitrary files on the system.
