Description
This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-30205)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to Emacs in Org mode considers contents of remote files to be trusted. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the system.
2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45492)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the nextScaffoldPart() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45491)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the dtdCopy() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow') (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45490)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in xmlparse.c when handling negative length for XML_ParseBuffer. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger buffer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the system.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25062)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in xmlValidatePopElement when using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML document to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
6) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5742)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in privilege escalation.
7) Use of Potentially Dangerous Function (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39331)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to org-link-expand-abbrev in lisp/ol.el expands a %(...) link abbrev even when it specifies an unsafe function. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.
8) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-30203)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to Gnus treats inline MIME contents as trusted. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the system.9) Incomplete cleanup (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31356)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incomplete system memory cleanup in SEV firmware. A local privileged user can corrupt guest private memory.
10) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31315)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation in a model specific register (MSR). A malicious application with ring0 access can modify SMM configuration while SMI lock is enabled, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20584)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of special address ranges with invalid device table entries (DTEs) in IOMMU. A local user can induce DTE faults to bypass RMP checks in SEV-SNP.
12) 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.
13) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6923)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of newlines for email headers when
serializing an email message. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary headers into serialized email messages.
14) 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.
15) Incorrect provision of specified functionality (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4032)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists within the "ipaddress" module that contains incorrect information and private and public IP addresses for IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. This affects the is_private and is_global properties of the
ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and
ipaddress.IPv6Network classes. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions based on IP addresses or perform other actions, depending on the application's capabilities.
