Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.


1) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27191)

CWE-ID: CWE-327 - Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

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 a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh before 0.0.0-20220314234659-1baeb1ce4c0b, as used in Go programming language. A remote attacker can crash a server in certain circumstances involving AddHostKey.


2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22570)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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 non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Server: Compiling (protobuf) component in MySQL Server. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1158)

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

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


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

The vulnerability exists due the KVM implementation in Linux kernel does not properly perform guest page table updates in some situations. A remote user on the guest operating system can trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service attack against the host OS.


4) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2639)

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the reserve_sfa_size() function in the openvswitch kernel module in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the system or escalate privileges.



5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24302)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in the write_private_key_file() function between creation and chmod operations. A local user can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.


6) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42010)

CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion in debug builds caused by a syntactically invalid type signature with incorrectly nested parentheses and curly brackets. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42011)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error caused by an invalid array of fixed-length elements where the length of the array is not a multiple of the length of the element. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds read and gain access to sensitive information.


8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42012)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error caused by a message in non-native endianness with out-of-band Unix file descriptors. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

9) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42898)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow within the S4U2Proxy handler on 32-bit systems. A remote user can send specially crafted request to the KDC server, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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