Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU10223
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000005
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted
HTTP/2 trailer to trigger an out-of-bounds memory read error and cause
the application to crash or obtain potentially sensitive information from
services that echo back or otherwise use the trailers.
Update the affected packages.
net-misc/curl to version: 7.59.0
Gentoo Linux: All versions

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU10224
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000007
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send custom headers in an HTTP request and an HTTP 30X redirect response
code, cause the application to send the custom headers to the server
specified in the 'Location:' response header and obtain potentially
sensitive authentication information from applications that use custom
'Authorization:' headers.
Update the affected packages.

3) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU11111
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000120
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists due to heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker that can control the paths that curl uses for FTP can create specially crafted path names containing the control characters '%00', trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code.
Update the affected packages.

EUVDB-ID: #VU11105
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000121
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to NULL pointer dereference in ldap_get_attribute_ber(). A remote attacker can return a specially crafted redirect to an LDAP URL, trigger NULL pointer dereference and cause the service to crash.//

Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000122
CWE-ID:
CWE-126 - Buffer over-read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause DoS condition.
The weakness exists due to buffer over-read. A remote attacker can cause the target application to trigger a buffer copy
error in processing RTSP URLs and cause the application to crash or
access potentially sensitive information on the target system.
Update the affected packages.
