Description

This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25767)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the DNSv4 component. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25928)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in the DNSv4 component. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25927)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the DNSv4 component. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read error and cause a denial of service condition on the system.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25926)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the DNS client does not set sufficiently random transaction IDs in the DNSv4 component. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a cache poisoning attack.


5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-35683)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the ICMP component. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read error and cause a denial of service condition on the system.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-35684)

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 TCP compponent. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-35685)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to TCP ISNs are generated in a predictable manner. A remote attacker can spoof page content.


8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31228)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the DNSv4 component. A remote attacker can predict the source port of DNS queries to send forged DNS response packets and perform a cache poisoning attack.


9) Uncaught Exception (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31400)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the TCP urgent data processing function may invoke a panic function. A remote attacker can cause an infinite loop.


10) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31401)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the lack of IP length validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted IP packet to trigger an integer overflow on the system.


11) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31226)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the code that parses the HTTP POST. A remote attacker can trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


12) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31227)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an incorrect signed integer comparison in the code that parses the HTTP POST. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


13) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27565)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within unhandled HTTP requests. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


14) Improper Null Termination (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36762)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the TFTP packet processing function does not ensure that the filename is null-terminated. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
