Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33181)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application in the "configshow" and "supportlink" switch commands. A local user can read sensitive files on the system.


2) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33185)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error. A local user can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33184)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in fab_seg.c.h libraries. A local user can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33179)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions. A local user can break out of restricted shells with "set context" and escalate privileges.


5) Unprotected storage of credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28170)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to other users' credentials.

The vulnerability exists due to application stored credentials in the debug statements. A local user can extract the passwords from a debug file.


6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33180)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A local user can export out sensitive files with "seccryptocfg", "configupload".


7) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33182)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions in the "supportlink", "firmwaredownload", "portcfgupload", "license", and "fosexec" switch commands, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.


8) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33183)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the "firmwaredownload" and "diagshow" commands. A remote user can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
