Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Unprotected storage of credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15635)

CWE-ID: CWE-256 - Unprotected Storage of Credentials

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in encrypt-datasource-passwords data migration command that failed to encrypt user credentials for various data sources. A local user can view migration settings and reveal database credentials.

Note, this vulnerability can be exploited via Grafana web UI by pressing the "Save and test" button within a data source's settings menu.


2) Padding oracle attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1563)

CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform padding oracle attack.

The vulnerability exists due to possibility to perform a Bleichenbacher padding oracle attack against the RSA key, in situations where an attacker receives automated notification of the success or failure of a decryption attempt an attacker. A remote attacker can send a very large number of messages to be decrypted, can recover a CMS/PKCS7 transported encryption key or decrypt any RSA encrypted message that was encrypted with the public RSA key.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15639)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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 in the "main/translate.c". A remote attacker can send a specific RTP packet during a call and cause a crash in a specific scenario.
