Description
This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20149)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to ctorName in index.js in kind-of allows external user input to overwrite certain internal attributes via a conflicting name. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted payload to overwrite builtin attribute and manipulate the type detection result.
2) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-27777)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way RTAS handles memory accesses in userspace to kernel communication. On a locked down (usually due to Secure Boot) guest system running on top of PowerVM or KVM hypervisors (pseries platform) a root like user could use this flaw to further increase their privileges to that of a running kernel.
3) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3609)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the CAN BCM networking protocol (net/can/bcm.c) in the Linux kernel ranging from version 2.6.25 to mainline 5.13-rc6. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22543)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Linux kernel when handling VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in KVM. A local user can can bypass RO checks and cause the pages to get freed while still accessible by the VMM and guest. As a result, an attacker with the ability to start and control a VM to read/write random pages of memory, can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22555)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in net/netfilter/x_tables.c in Linux kernel. A local user can run a specially crafted program to trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27218)
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect conversion between numeric types in Gnome Glib. If g_byte_array_new_take() was called with a buffer of 4GB or more on a 64-bit platform, the length would be truncated modulo 2**32, causing unintended length truncation.
7) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29154)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect computation of branch displacements within the BPF JIT compilers in the Linux kernel in arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c and arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp32.c. A local user can inject and execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29650)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/x_tables.c and include/linux/netfilter/x_tables.h. A local user can trigger memory corruption upon the assignment of a new table value and cause denial of service.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31535)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of color names within the XLookupColor() function. A local user can run a specially crafted application on the system and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32399)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition for removal of the HCI controller within net/bluetooth/hci_request.c in the Linux kernel. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information and escalate privileges on the system.
11) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33195)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of data passed from DNS lookups. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS reqponse and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
12) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33197)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in some configurations of ReverseProxy (from net/http/httputil). A remote attacker can drop arbitrary headers and bypass authorization process.
13) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33198)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when handling a large exponent to the math/big.Rat SetString or UnmarshalText method. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34558)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate verification in crypto/tls package in Go when processing X.509 certificates. The application does not properly assert that the type of public key in an X.509 certificate matches the expected type when doing a RSA based key exchange, allowing a malicious TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic.
