Description

This security bulletin contains information about 13 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32149)

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

The vulnerability exists due to ParseAcceptLanguage does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Accept-Language header that will take a significant time to parse and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1962)

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 in go/parser. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30630)

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 calling Glob on a path that contains a large number of path separators. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30635)

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 calling Decoder.Decode on a message which contains deeply nested structures. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32148)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to unexpected behavior of httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP. When the method is called with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, ReverseProxy would set the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header, contrary to its documentation.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30631)

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 in Reader.Read method when handling an archive that contains a large number of concatenated 0-length compressed files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30632)

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 calling Glob on a path that contains a large number of path separators. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32189)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in
Float.GobDecode. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28131)

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 calling Decoder.Skip when parsing a deeply nested XML document. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30633)

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 calling Unmarshal on a XML document into a Go struct which has a nested field that uses the any field tag. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1705)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of Transfer-Encoding headers in HTTP/1 responses. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/1 response to the client and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27664)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an HTTP/2 connection can hang during closing if shutdown were preempted by a fatal error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


13) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32190)

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

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within JoinPath and URL.JoinPath. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
