Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25684)

CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a lack of proper address/port check within the "reply_query" function. A remote attacker can perform a DNS cache poisoning attack.


2) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25685)

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a lack of query resource name (RRNAME) checks in the "reply_query" function. A remote attacker can perform a DNS cache poisoning attack.


3) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25686)

CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the affected software does not check for an existing pending request for the same name and forwards a new request. A remote attacker can perform a DNS cache poisoning attack.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3156)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in sudo. A local user can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system with root privileges.
