Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30536)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to alter application's behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of HTTP headers with newline characters. A remote attacker with ability to control the header names that are passed to Slilm-Psr7 can craft invalid messages, possibly causing application errors or invalid HTTP requests being sent out with an PSR-18 HTTP client.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2961)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the iconv() function when converting string to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger a 4 byte 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-2023-44270)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of external CSS files when parsing the "\r" character. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform spoofing attack.
4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-55565)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop. A remote user can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
5) Incorrect comparison (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56522)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect comparison in unserializeTCPDFtag when processing TCPDF tag hashes. A remote attacker can bypass certain security restrictions.
6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56519)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of SVG font-family attribute in setSVGStyles when handling . A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
7) Improper certificate validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56521)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation when using CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and pass spoofed content into PDF file.
8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56527)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when displaying error messages. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
