Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23772)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the Rat.SetString(0 function in math/big. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23806)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to unchecked return value within the Curve.IsOnCurve() function in crypto/elliptic. A remote attacker can force the application to incorrectly return true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element. As a result, an attacker can modify application flow, which can lead to unauthorized data modification or denial of service.
3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-41771)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists in debug/macho of the Go standard library when using the debug/macho standard library (stdlib) and malformed binaries are parsed using Open or OpenFat. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted file to perform a denial of service attack.
4) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23773)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists within cmd/go, which can misinterpret branch names that falsely appear to be version tags. This can lead to a situation where an attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and perform restricted actions, e.g. create tags when access was granted to create branches only.
5) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-39293)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of archive/zip in Go programming language when processing archive header. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38297)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption via large arguments in a function invocation from a WASM module, when GOARCH=wasm GOOS=js is used.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-41772)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in archive/zip Reader.Open. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted ZIP archive containing an invalid name or an empty filename field to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33196)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing archives. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted .zip file to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
