1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35940)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the "apr_time_exp*()" functions. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to a missing patch for #VU9477 (CVE-2017-12613).
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3711)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in EVP_PKEY_decrypt() function within implementation of the SM2 decryption. A remote attacker can send specially crafted SM2 content for decryption to trigger a buffer overflow by 62 bytes and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3712)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing ASN.1 strings related to a confusion with NULL termination of strings in array. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
