Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31525)

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/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 DoS attack.

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when processing HTTP headers. A remote attacker can send a large header to ReadRequest or ReadResponse and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34558)

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

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:P/U:Green


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.


3) Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27218)

CWE-ID: CWE-681 - Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types

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


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.


4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37576)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.5 on the powerpc platform. An attacker on KVM guest OS can cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.


5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38201)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/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 remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the net/sunrpc/xdr.c in the Linux kernel. A remote user can perform multiple NFS 4.2 READ_PLUS operations and cause a denial of service attack.

6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38575)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the IScsiHexToBin() function in NetworkPkg/IScsiDxe. A remote attacker with ability to inject data into communication between edk2 and the iSCSI target can execute arbitrary code on the target system.
