Description

This security bulletin contains information about 17 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21538)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3903)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2236)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform timing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in libgcrypt's RSA implementation. A remote attacker can initiate a Bleichenbacher-style attack, which can lead to the decryption of RSA ciphertexts.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2511)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to unbounded memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option is being used in TLSv1.3.


5) 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.


6) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4603)

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 the application when checking DSA keys and parameters. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4741)

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 SSL_free_buffers() function. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, the vulnerability affects only applications that call the vulnerable function.


8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5535)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the SSL_select_next_proto() function when using NPN. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6232)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of .tar archives when processing it with regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


10) 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.


11) 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.


12) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10963)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in pam_access module where certain rules in its configuration file are mistakenly treated as hostnames. A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.


13) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34064)

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 within the "xmlattr" filter. 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.


14) 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.


15) 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).


16) 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.


17) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50602)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the XML_ResumeParser function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
