Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Covert Timing Channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46809)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Marvin attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a covert timing channel in the privateDecrypt() API of the crypto library. A remote attacker can perform a covert timing side-channel during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding error handling and decrypt captured RSA ciphertexts or forge signatures, especially in scenarios involving API endpoints processing Json Web Encryption messages.
2) Improper handling of exceptional conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21892)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way certain environment variables are handled by Node.js on Linux. A local user can use a specially crafted environment variable to escalate privileges on the system.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22019)
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 when processing HTTP requests with chunked encoding. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP request to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22020)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling non-network imports in data URLs. A remote user can bypass network import restrictions and execute arbitrary code.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22025)
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 when handling brotli decoding. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27982)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
7) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27983)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when handling HTTP/2 packets. A remote attacker can send a small amount of HTTP/2 frames packets with a few HTTP/2 frames inside and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-47153)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition caused by an incorrect building process for 32-bit systems for libuv and Node.js. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
