Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24675)

CWE-ID: CWE-120 - Buffer overflow

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

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

The vulnerability exists in the Golang's library encoding/pem. A remote attacker can send to victim a large (more than 5 MB) PEM input to cause a stack overflow in Decode and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27536)

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:U/U:Green

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

The vulnerability exists due to certificate.Verify in crypto/x509 in Go can be caused to panic on macOS when presented with certain malformed certificates. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic.

3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28327)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

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

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the Golang's library crypto/elliptic. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted scalar input longer than 32 bytes to cause P256().ScalarMult or P256().ScalarBaseMult to panic and perform a denial of service attack.
