Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13115)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on a targeted system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the "kex_method_diffie_hellman_group_exchange_sha256_key_exchange" function in the "kex.c" file. A remote attacker can trick a victim to connect to an attacker-controlled Secure Shell (SSH) server, which would allow the attacker to send packets that submit malicious input to the targeted system, trigger integer overflow leading to an out-of-bounds write condition and execute arbitrary code or cause a DoS condition.
2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17498)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or access sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the "SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT" logic in "packet.c" in a bounds check. A remote attacker can specify an arbitrary (out-of-bounds) offset for a subsequent memory read, trigger out-of-bounds read, disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition on the target system when a user connects to the malicious SSH server.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3855)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the _libssh2_transport_read() function in transport.cwhen processing packet_lengthvalues. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3856)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when parsing keyboard prompt requests. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3857)
CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow
CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when parsing SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packets. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3858)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing SFTP packets. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory or crash the affected application.
7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3859)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing packets in _libssh2_packet_require() and _libssh2_packet_requirev() functions. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory or crash the affected application.
8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3860)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing SFTP packets. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory or crash the affected application.
9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3861)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 1.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when SSH packets with a padding length value greater than the packet length are parsed. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger out of bounds read and gain access to sensitive information or perform denial of service attack.
10) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3862)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 6.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packets with an exit status message and no payload are parsed. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger out of bounds read and gain access to sensitive information or perform denial of service attack.
11) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3863)
CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
CVSSv4: 7.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing total length of multiple keyboard interactive response messages that exceeds the value of unsigned char max characters. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger our of bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the system with privileges of the user, running the affected application.
