Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6597)

The vulnerability allows a local user to delete arbitrary files on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue during cleanup when handling temporary files. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and delete it.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0450)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the zipfile module does not properly control consumption of internal resources when extracting files from a zip archive. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive aka zip-bomb to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) 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.


4) 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.
