Description
This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15586)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in some net/http servers, as demonstrated by the httputil.ReverseProxy Handler. A remote attacker can exploit the race and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-16845)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in "ReadUvarint" and "ReadVarint" in "encoding/binary". A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20811)
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to manipulate data.
An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 5.0.6. In rx_queue_add_kobject() and netdev_queue_add_kobject() in net/core/net-sysfs.c, a reference count is mishandled, aka CID-a3e23f719f5c.
4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20907)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop In Lib/tarfile.py in Python. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TAR archive leading to an infinite loop when opened by tarfile.open, because _proc_pax lacks header validation.
5) Improper Neutralization of HTTP Headers for Scripting Syntax (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8177)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to overwrite files on the victim's system.
The vulnerability exists due to a logical error when processing Content-Disposition: HTTP response header in curl when executed with the -J flag and -i flags in the same command line. A remote attacker can trick the victim to run a specially crafted curl command against a malicious website and overwrite files on the user's system.
6) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8622)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when handling TSIG-signed request. An attacker on the network path for a TSIG-signed request, or operating the server receiving the TSIG-signed request, could send a truncated response to that request, triggering an assertion failure, causing the server to exit.
7) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8623)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when processing DNS query for a zone signed with RSA. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted query and crash the DNS server.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that BIND is built with "--enable-native-pkcs11".
8) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8624)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform unauthorized actions.
The vulnerability exists due to change 4885 in BIND inadvertently caused "update-policy" rules of type "subdomain" to be treated as if they were of type "zonesub", allowing updates to all parts of the zone along with the intended subdomain. A remote user with privileges to change a specific subset of the zone's content could abuse these unintended additional privileges to update other contents of the zone.
9) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14331)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the Linux kernel’s implementation of the invert video code on VGA consoles. A local user with can run a specially crafted program to call VT_RESIZE IOCTL, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system with elevated privileges.
10) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14363)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling locales in LibX11. A local user can run a specially crafted program to trigger integer overflow and double free and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14422)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application improperly computes hash values in the IPv4Interface and IPv6Interface classes within the Lib/ipaddress.py in Python. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack if an application is affected by the performance of a dictionary containing IPv4Interface or IPv6Interface objects, and this attacker can cause many dictionary entries to be created.
12) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15999)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in freetype library when processing TTF files. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TTF file with PNG sbit glyphs to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
13) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25637)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the libvirt API, responsible for requesting information about network interfaces of a running QEMU domain. A local client connecting to the read-write socket with limited ACL permissions could use this flaw to crash the libvirt daemon, resulting in a denial of service, or potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
