Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU62641

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27774

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to curl attempts to follow redirects during authentication process and does not consider different port numbers or protocols to be separate authentication targets. If the web application performs redirection to a different port number of protocol, cURL will allow such redirection and will pass credentials. It could also leak the TLS SRP credentials this way.

By default, curl only allows redirects to HTTP(S) and FTP(S), but can be asked to allow redirects to all protocols curl supports.

Mitigation

Update the affected package curl to the latest version.

2) Use-after-free

EUVDB-ID: #VU76233

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28319

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when checking the SSH sha256 fingerprint. A remote attacker can use the application to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger a use-after-free error and gain access to potentially sensitive information.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires usage of the the CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_SHA256 option, and also CURLOPT_VERBOSE or CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER options have to be set.

Mitigation

Update the affected package curl to the latest version.

3) Improper synchronization

EUVDB-ID: #VU76235

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28320

CWE-ID: CWE-662 - Improper Synchronization

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper synchronization when resolving host names using the alarm() and siglongjmp() function. A remote attacker can force the application to crash by influencing contents of the global buffer.

Mitigation

Update the affected package curl to the latest version.

4) Improper certificate validation

EUVDB-ID: #VU76237

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28321

CWE-ID: CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation when matching wildcards in TLS certificates for IDN names. A remote attacker crate a specially crafted certificate that will be considered trusted by the library.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that curl is built to use OpenSSL, Schannel or Gskit.

Mitigation

Update the affected package curl to the latest version.

5) Expected behavior violation

EUVDB-ID: #VU76238

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28322

CWE-ID: CWE-440 - Expected Behavior Violation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a logic error when sending HTTP POST and PUT requests using the same handle. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT request which used that callback. As a result, the application can misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer.

Mitigation

Update the affected package curl to the latest version.
