Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.


1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32313)

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to the possibility to get a read-write reference to the node `inspect` method and edit options for `console.log`. A remote attacker can edit options for the `console.log` command.


2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32314)

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an unexpected creation of a host object based on the specification of `Proxy`. A remote attacker can escape sandbox restrictions and gain remote code execution rights on the host.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2795)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

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 improper management of internal resources within the application when processing large delegations. A remote attacker can flood the target resolver with queries and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2928)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to an error related to the way processing lease queries are processed by the DHCP server. With a DHCP server configured with "allow leasequery;" a remote attacker can send lease queries for the same lease multiple times, leading to the "add_option()" function being repeatedly called. This can cause an option's "refcount" field to overflow and the server to abort.


5) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2929)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:A/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 DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the fqdn_universe_decode() function when processing DHCP packets with DNS labels. A remote attacker can send specially crafted DHCP packets to the affected server, trigger memory leak and perform denial of service attack.


6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36227)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in libarchive. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41973)

CWE-ID: CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following

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 symlink following issue. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in privilege escalation.


8) Inadequate Encryption Strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0361)

CWE-ID: CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the TLS RSA key exchange. A remote attacker can perform Bleichenbacher oracle attack and decrypt information.


9) State Issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27535)

CWE-ID: CWE-371 - State Issues

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to FTP server.

The vulnerability exists due to cURL will reuse a previously created FTP connection even when one or more options had been changed that could have made the effective user a very different one. A remote attacker can connect to the FTP server using credentials supplied by another user and gain access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The settings in questions are CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT, CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER, CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC and CURLOPT_USE_SSL level.
