Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18187)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.
The weakness exists due to integer overflow in PSK identity parsing in the ssl_parse_client_psk_identity() function in library/ssl_srv.c. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and bypass bounds-check.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0487)
CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper validation of Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Probabilistic Signature Scheme (RSASSA-PSS) signatures. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted certificate chain, which the affected software can mishandle during RSASSA-PSS signature verification, trigger buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
3) Remote code execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0488)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper processing of crafted packets when using the truncated HMAC extension and CBC. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input and execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
