Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38749)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38751)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted YAML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41854)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing untrusted YAML files. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted YAML file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service attack.


4) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38752)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38750)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25857)

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 when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18640)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Application Server (SnakeYAML) component in PeopleSoft Enterprise PT PeopleTools. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
