Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data

EUVDB-ID: #VU64922

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2097

CWE-ID: CWE-311 - Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimized implementation. Under specific circumstances OpenSSL does not encrypt the entire message and can reveal sixteen bytes of data that was preexisting in the memory that wasn't written. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.


Mitigation

Update openssl package to version 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4.

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

openssl (Debian package): before 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4

CPE2.3 External links

https://www.debian.org/security/2023/dsa-5343


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy

EUVDB-ID: #VU71993

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4304

CWE-ID: CWE-208 - Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker can perform a Bleichenbacher style attack and decrypt data sent over the network.

To achieve a successful decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a very large number of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects all RSA padding modes: PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-OEAP and RSASVE.

Mitigation

Update openssl package to version 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4.

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

openssl (Debian package): before 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

3) Double Free

EUVDB-ID: #VU71996

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4450

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the PEM_read_bio_ex() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted PEM file to the application, trigger a double free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update openssl package to version 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4.

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

openssl (Debian package): before 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU71995

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0215

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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 BIO_new_NDEF function. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


Mitigation

Update openssl package to version 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4.

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

openssl (Debian package): before 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

5) Type Confusion

EUVDB-ID: #VU71992

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0286

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or read memory contents.

In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.

Mitigation

Update openssl package to version 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4.

Vulnerable software versions

Debian Linux: All versions

openssl (Debian package): before 1.1.1n-0+deb11u4
