Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30580)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in Cmd.Start in os/exec allows execution of any binaries in the working directory named either "..com" or "..exe" by calling Cmd.Run, Cmd.Start, Cmd.Output, or Cmd.CombinedOutput when Cmd.Path is unset. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24675)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists in the Golang's library encoding/pem. A remote attacker can send to victim a large (more than 5 MB) PEM input to cause a stack overflow in Decode and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-25032)
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 when compressing data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29526)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to the Faccessat function can incorrectly report that a file is accessible, when called with a non-zero flags parameter. An attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions.
5) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30634)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in crypto/rand on Windows when handling buffer larger than 1 << 32 - 1 bytes. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
6) Use of insufficiently random values (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30629)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in crypto/tls implementation when generating TLS tickets age. The newSessionTicketMsgTLS13.ageAdd is always set to "0" instead of a random value.
7) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29804)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the filepath.Clean function on Windows, which can convert certain invalid paths to valid, absolute paths, potentially allowing a directory traversal attack. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform directory traversal attacks.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3759)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists in the Linux kernel’s ipc functionality of the memcg subsystem when user calls the semget function multiple times, creating semaphores. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23806)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to unchecked return value within the Curve.IsOnCurve() function in crypto/elliptic. A remote attacker can force the application to incorrectly return true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element. As a result, an attacker can modify application flow, which can lead to unauthorized data modification or denial of service.
10) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23773)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists within cmd/go, which can misinterpret branch names that falsely appear to be version tags. This can lead to a situation where an attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and perform restricted actions, e.g. create tags when access was granted to create branches only.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23772)
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 within the Rat.SetString(0 function in math/big. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2097)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimized implementation. Under specific circumstances OpenSSL does not encrypt the entire message and can reveal sixteen bytes of data that was preexisting in the memory that wasn't written. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.
