Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41296)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.


2) Code injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21303)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via various files in index.yaml, plugin.yaml, and Chart.yaml files and via a SemVer in the version field. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36055)

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

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect resource management within the strvals package, responsible for converting strings into Go structures. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and consume all available memory on the system.


4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32690)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the way Helm retrieves chart archives from external URLs. When a username and password are associated with a Helm repository, the username and password are also passed on to other domains referenced in the index.yaml file while retrieving a specific chart archive on the other domain.


5) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3172)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in kube-apiserver. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


6) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29526)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the Faccessat function can incorrectly report that a file is accessible, when called with a non-zero flags parameter. An attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions.


7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30633)

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 calling Unmarshal on a XML document into a Go struct which has a nested field that uses the any field tag. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28131)

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 calling Decoder.Skip when parsing a deeply nested XML document. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27664)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an HTTP/2 connection can hang during closing if shutdown were preempted by a fatal error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41297)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and execute malicious and unauthorized actions transmitted from a user that the website trusts.
