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

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.


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

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.


6) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2491)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a missing fix for #VU74578 (CVE-2023-28617). A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system via a file name or directory name that contains shell metacharacters.
