Description

This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41854)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing untrusted YAML files. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted YAML file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service attack.


2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3786)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the email address field length inside a X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger a buffer overflow and crash the application.



3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3602)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing the email address field inside  X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the application, trigger a 4-byte buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that either a CA signs the malicious certificate or for the application to continue certificate verification despite failure to construct a path to a trusted issuer.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41716)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure processing of unsanitized NUL values in syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd. A local user on the Windows operating system can set a specially crafted environment variable and execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.


5) 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.


6) 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.


7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42004)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control usage of deeply nested arrays in BeanDeserializer._deserializeFromArray. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42003)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data when the UNWRAP_SINGLE_VALUE_ARRAYS feature is enabled. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


9) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38752)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38751)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted YAML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


11) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38750)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25857)

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 handling YAML files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


13) Stored cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22860)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote user can inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


14) Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25881)

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

The vulnerability exists due to regular expression denial of service that occurs when the server reads the cache policy from the request using this library. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send malicious request header values to the server and perform a denial of service attack.


15) 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.


16) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38749)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted YAML file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
