Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20863)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/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 insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote user can use a specially crafted SpEL expression and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) PHP file inclusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2603)
CWE-ID: CWE-98 - Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program
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 include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect input validation when including PHP files in web/ajax/modal.php. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected application, include and execute arbitrary PHP code on the system with privileges of the web server.
3) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27561)
CWE-ID: CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/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 compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. A local user can gain elevated privileges on the target system.
4) Uncaught Exception (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2251)
CWE-ID: CWE-248 - Uncaught Exception
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 cause a denial of service condition.
The vulnerability exists due uncaught exception in the parseDocument() and parseAllDocuments() functions. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted input and cause a denial of service condition.
5) Improper Preservation of Permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28642)
CWE-ID: CWE-281 - Improper preservation of permissions
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper preservation of permissions in the AppArmor and SELinux when /proc inside the container is symlinked with a specific mount configuration. A remote attacker can gain access to the target application.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29013)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
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 application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing HTTP and MIME headers. A remote attacker can cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38023)
CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/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 compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to security features bypass in Netlogon RPC. A remote attacker can bypass the Netlogon cryptography feature for signing and sealing traffic during Netlogon authentication.
8) Improper Preservation of Permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25809)
CWE-ID: CWE-281 - Improper preservation of permissions
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the rootless "/sys/fs/cgroup" is writable when cgroupns is not unshared. A local administrator can gain the write access to user-owned cgroup hierarchy "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/..." on the host.
9) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2602)
CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
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 DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the error handling in the __wrap_pthread_create() function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request, exploit vulnerability to exhaust the process memory and cause a denial of service condition.
