Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9341)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9407)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
A vulnerability exists in the bind-propagation option of the Dockerfile RUN --mount instruction. The system does not properly validate the input passed to this option, allowing users to pass arbitrary parameters to the mount instruction. This issue can be exploited to mount sensitive directories from the host into a container during the build process and, in some cases, modify the contents of those mounted files.
Even if SELinux is used, this vulnerability can bypass its protection by allowing the source directory to be relabeled to give the container access to host files.
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) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3596)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm in RADIUS Protocol. A remote user can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack and gain access to target system.
5) 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.
6) Improper synchronization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7409)
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization during socket closure in the QEMU NBD Server. A malicious guest can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9675)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in cache mounts. A local user can execute a 'RUN' instruction in a Container file to mount an arbitrary directory from the host into the container as long as those files can be accessed by the user running Buildah.
8) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9676)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue when running a malicious image using an automatically assigned user namespace (`--userns=auto` in Podman and Buildah). A local user can create a symbolic link to an arbitrary file on the system, force the library to read it and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10041)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software stores secrets in memory in plain text. A local user can read the memory and obtain passwords in plain text when PAM is used to perform authentication.
10) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38796)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in PeCoffLoaderRelocateImage. A remote user on the local network can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
11) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52530)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
