Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000099)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The weakness exists due to out-of bounds read. A local attacker can load a specially crafted 'file://' URL to cause the curl application to return data from system memory.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information disclosure.
2) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000100)
CWE-ID: CWE-601 - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect website visitors to external websites.
The weakness exists due to incorrect validation of redirected URL. A remote attacker can redirect the target user's curl request to a TFTP URL with a long filename to cause the target user's curl application to send portions of system memory.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information disclosure.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1000254)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to out-of-bounds read when parsing a directory name when connecting to an FTP server. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption, access arbitrary files and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
