Description
This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27782)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the way libcurl handles previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers. Several TLS and SSH settings were left out from the configuration match checks, resulting in erroneous matches for different resources. As a result, libcurl can send authentication string from one resource to another, exposing credentials to a third-party.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40674)
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.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37434)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing a large gzip header within inflateGetHeader in inflate.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the affected application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
4) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27778)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to delete files on the system.
The vulnerability exists in the curl command line tool when --no-clobber is used together with --remove-on-error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious server and force the command line tool to remove unexpected files.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27779)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to libcurl wrongly allows HTTP cookies to be set for Top Level Domains (TLDs) if the host name is provided with a trailing dot. As a result, an attacker can create cookie files that are later sent to a different and unrelated site or domain.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27780)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass filters and checks.
The vulnerability exists due to the curl URL parser wrongly accepts percent-encoded URL separators like '/' when decoding the host name part of a URL, making it a different URL using the wrong host name when it is later retrieved. For example, the URL like http://example.com%2F10.0.0.1/, would be allowed by the parser and get transposed into http://example.com/10.0.0.1/.
A remote attacker can bypass various internal filters and checks and force the curl to connect to a wrong web application.
7) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27781)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when handling requests with the CURLOPT_CERTINFO option. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
8) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30115)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in HSTS implementation that can allow curl to continue using HTTP protocol instead of HTTPS if the host name in the given URL used a trailing dot while not using one when it built the HSTS cache. A remote attacker with ability to intercept traffic can obtain potentially sensitive information.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32205)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to curl does not impose limits to the size of cookies stored in the system. A malicious server can serve excessive amounts of Set-Cookie: headers in a HTTP response to curl and consume all available disk space.
10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32206)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure processing of compressed HTTP responses. A malicious server can send a specially crafted HTTP response to curl and perform a denial of service attack by forcing curl to spend enormous amounts of allocated heap memory, or trying to and returning out of memory errors.
11) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32207)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions set to cookies, alt-svc and hsts data stored in local files. A local user with ability to read such files can gain access to potentially sensitive information.
12) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32208)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of message verification failures when performing FTP transfers secured by krb5. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and manipulate data.
13) Insufficient Resource Pool (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46679)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a insufficient resource pool. A remote attacker can may exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service attack.
