Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11187)

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 DNS zones with numerous records in the Additional section. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by sending multiple queries to he affected server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24928)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the xmlSnprintfElements() function in valid.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML data to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27516)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to sandbox breakout through attr filter selecting format method. A local user can execute arbitrary code on the system.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-30204)

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 within the parse.ParseUnverified function when parsing authorization header. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP response to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-49043)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xmlXIncludeAddNode() function in xinclude.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application or potentially execute arbitrary code.



6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27144)

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 parsing JWS and JWE input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-29781)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the Bare Metal Operator (BMO) can expose any secret from other namespaces via BMCEventSubscription CRD. A local user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


8) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2236)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform timing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in libgcrypt's RSA implementation. A remote attacker can initiate a Bleichenbacher-style attack, which can lead to the decryption of RSA ciphertexts.


9) 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.


10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-55549)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in xsltGetInheritedNsList. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input 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.
