Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Reliance on undefined behavior

EUVDB-ID: #VU75586

Risk: Low

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-2023-30624

CWE-ID: CWE-758 - Reliance on Undefined, Unspecified, or Implementation-Defined Behavior

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to influence application's behavior.

The vulnerability exists due to LLVM-level undefined behavior when managing per-instance state. A remote attacker can leverage this vulnerability to cause runtime-level issues when compiled with LLVM 16, which can influence application behavior.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

envoy: 1.23.0 - 1.26.1

External links

http://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/releases/tag/v1.24.8
http://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/releases/tag/v1.23.10


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?

The attacker would have to send a specially crafted request to the affected application in order to exploit this vulnerability.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow')

EUVDB-ID: #VU76425

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 2.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31130

CWE-ID: CWE-124 - Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a buffer underflow when using certain IPv6 addresses, such as 0::00:00:00/2". A local privileged user can trigger a boundary error and crash the service.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

envoy: 1.23.0 - 1.26.1

External links

http://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/releases/tag/v1.24.8
http://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/releases/tag/v1.23.10


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

How the attacker can exploit this vulnerability?

The attacker would have to send a specially crafted request to the affected application in order to exploit this vulnerability.

The attacker would have to login to the system and perform certain actions in order to exploit this vulnerability.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

3) Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

EUVDB-ID: #VU76426

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31147

CWE-ID: CWE-338 - Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of a rand() function in case /dev/urandom or RtlGenRandom() are unavailable. A remote attacker can perform spoofing attack.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

EUVDB-ID: #VU76424

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31124

CWE-ID: CWE-338 - Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when cross-compiling c-ares and using the autotools build system. As a result, the CARES_RANDOM_FILE is not be set, which results in usage of a rand() function as a fallback, leading to weak entropy.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

5) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU76422

Risk: Medium

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

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32067

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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 when processing DNS responses. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS response to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
