SB2022110455 - Anolis OS update for gnutls

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-24659)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in GnuTLS before 3.6.15. A server can trigger a NULL pointer dereference in a TLS 1.3 client if a no_renegotiation alert is sent with unexpected timing, and then an invalid second handshake occurs. The crash happens in the application's error handling path, where the gnutls_deinit function is called after detecting a handshake failure. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20231)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in client sending key_share extension. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious server using a large Client Hello message over TLS 1.3, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application or execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-20232)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in client_send_params in lib/ext/pre_shared_key.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious server using a large Client Hello message over TLS 1.3, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application or execute arbitrary code on the system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

4) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2509)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within gnutls_pkcs7_verify() function when verifying the pkcs7 signatures. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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