Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.
1) Missing Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33197)
CWE-ID: CWE-862 - Missing Authorization
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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.
2) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36221)
CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')
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 (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in net/http/httputil ReverseProxy when handling ErrAbortHandler events. A remote attacker can trigger a race condition and crash the ReverseProxy.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29923)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in net.ParseIP and net.ParseCIDR, as the Go interpreter does not properly consider extraneous zero characters at the beginning
of an IP address octet. A remote attacker can
bypass access control that is based on IP addresses, because of
unexpected octal interpretation.
4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33194)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
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 (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop. A remote attacker can pass crafted ParseFragment input to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
5) 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.
6) 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.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33196)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
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 (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.
8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33195)
CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
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.
