Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48564)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability occurs when processing malformed Apple Property List files in binary format. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40217)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in ssl.SSLSocket implementation when handling TLS client authentication. A remote attacker can trick the application to send data unencrypted.
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-43804)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to urllib does not strip the "Cookie" HTTP header during cross-origin HTTP redirects. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45803)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to urllib3 does not remove the HTTP request body when redirecting HTTP response using status codes 301, 302, or 303, after the request had its method changed from one that could accept a request body (e.g. from POST to GET). A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25193)
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 in hb-ot-layout-gsubgpos.hh. A remote attacker can use consecutive marks during the process of looking back for base glyphs when attaching marks and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33602)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to netgroup cache assumes NSS callback is using in-buffer strings in nscd binary. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33600)
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 nscd cache fails to add a not-found netgroup response to the cache. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2961)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the iconv() function when converting string to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger a 4 byte buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
9) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33850)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker can send an overly large number of trial messages for decryption and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
10) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33599)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in nscd binary. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exhaust the nscd fixed size cache to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
