CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35255
CWE-ID:
CWE-330 - Use of Insufficiently Random Values
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of weak randomness in WebCrypto keygen within the SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen() in src/crypto/crypto_keygen.cc. A remote attacker can decrypt sensitive information.
Install update from vendor's website.

4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests
EUVDB-ID: #VU65282
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32215
CWE-ID:
CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to llhttp parser in the http module does not correctly handle multi-line Transfer-Encoding headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
