Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48337)

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when parsing name of a source-code file in lib-src/etags.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim use the "etags -u *" command on the directory with attacker controlled content and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.



2) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48338)

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a malicious gem to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the ruby-find-library-file() function. A malicious Ruby source file can execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.



3) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48339)

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the hfy-istext-command() function when parsing the "file" and "srcdir" parameters, if a file name or directory name contains shell metacharacter. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


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

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


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.


5) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28617)

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the org-babel-execute:latex in ob-latex.el when processing file or directory names. 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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
