Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper locking
EUVDB-ID: #VU70142
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3996
CWE-ID:
CWE-667 - Improper Locking
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack (DoS).
The vulnerability exists due to double-locking error if an X.509 certificate contains a malformed policy constraint and policy processing is enabled. A remote attacker can under certain circumstances perform a denial of service attack against the web server.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that policy processing being enabled on the server.
Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Resource exhaustion
EUVDB-ID: #VU73960
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-2023-0464
CWE-ID:
CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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 verifying X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted certificate to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
