Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7264)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ASN1 parser code in the GTime2str() function. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and cause a denial of service condition on the system.


2) Comparison using wrong factors (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9681)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in HSTS cache implementation. When curl is asked to use HSTS, the expiry time for a subdomain can overwrite a parent domain's cache entry, making it end sooner or later than otherwise intended. This can lead to situations when the website becomes unavailable or force the client to switch to HTTP from HTTP connection earlier than intended.
