Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24785)
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 in html/template when parsing errors returned from MarshalJSON methods. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
2) Inadequate encryption strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-48795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), which mishandles the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5.
The vulnerability was dubbed "Terrapin attack" and it affects both client and server implementations.
3) 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.
4) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24783)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists in crypto/x509 due to improper validation of a certificate chain that contains an unknown public key. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45289)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure forwarding of headers and cookies to a third-party domains in net/http and net/http/cookiejar. A remote attacker can trick the application into sharing sensitive information with an attacker-controlled website.
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-2024-34156)
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).
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45290)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists in net/http due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing a multipart form (either explicitly with Request.ParseMultipartForm or implicitly with Request.FormValue, Request.PostFormValue, or Request.FormFile). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24784)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of display names within the ParseAddressList function in net/mail. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a spoofing attack.
