Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29154)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote server to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the rsync client  when processing file names. A remote malicious server overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory and subdirectories on the connected peer.


2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38177)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

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 DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the DNSSEC verification code for the ECDSA algorithm. A remote attacker can spoof the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature and perform denial of service attack.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40674)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the doContent() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that is using the affected library, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.

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


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2526)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/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 use-after-free error within the on_stream_io() and dns_stream_complete() functions in resolved-dns-stream.c, which do not increment the reference counting for the DnsStream object. A remote attacker can send to the system specially crafted DNS responses, trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
