Description
This security bulletin contains information about 17 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26461)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in /krb5/src/lib/gssapi/krb5/k5sealv3.c. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27113)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the xmlPatMatch() function in pattern.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML document to the affected application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9047)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in the xmlSnprintfElementContent function of XMLSoft libxml2 due to improper memory handling by the valid.c source code. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted XML file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
4) 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.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56171)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables() and xmlSchemaBubbleIDCNodeTables() functions in xmlschemas.c. A remote attacker can pass 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) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34459)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing XML data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) 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.
8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24528)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when calculating ulog block size in kadmind. A remote user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3596)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm in RADIUS Protocol. A remote user can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack and gain access to target system.
10) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9143)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when using the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, the vulnerability can be exploited against the application in rare cases only that involve "exotic" curve encoding.
11) Covert Timing Channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-13176)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to recover a private key.
The vulnerability exists due to a timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations. A remote attacker can recover the private key and decrypt data.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the attacker's process must either be located in the same physical computer or must have a very fast network connection with low latency.
12) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52533)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error in gio/gsocks4aproxy.c when handling responses from SOCKS4 proxy. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to a malicious SOCKS4 proxy server, trigger an off-by-one error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
13) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12243)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to libtasn1 does not properly control consumption of internal resources when decoding certain DER-encoded certificate data. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50602)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the XML_ResumeParser function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-0395)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when the assert() function fails. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
16) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11053)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when using a .netrc file for credentials and an instruction to follow HTTP redirects. The cURL library can leak credentials intended for the first URL prior to redirection. This however will only occur if the .netrc file has an entry that matches the redirect target hostname but the entry either omits just the password or omits both login and password.
17) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12133)
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 processing a large number of SEQUENCE OF or SET OF elements in a certificate. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
