Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-1544)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to perform service disruption.
nghttp2 before 1.7.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion).
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000168)
CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper bounds checking. If an alternative services (ALTSVC) frame is too large, the pointer field that points to the ALTSVC frame payload is left NULL. A remote attacker can submit a large ALTSVC frame, trigger a NULL pointer dereference and cause the service to crash.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9511)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/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 improper input validation when processing HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 request the affected server, consume all available CPU resources and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that support for HTTP/2 is enabled.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9513)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/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 improper input validation when processing HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 request the affected server, consume all available CPU resources and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that support for HTTP/2 is enabled.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11080)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/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 application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames. A remote attacker can trigger high CPU load by sending large HTTP/2 SETTINGS frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
