Description
This security bulletin contains information about 27 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32148)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to unexpected behavior of httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP. When the method is called with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, ReverseProxy would set the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header, contrary to its documentation.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24535)
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 attacker can send a specially crafted message consisting of a minus sign to cause panic and perform a denial of service attack.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32149)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to ParseAcceptLanguage does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted Accept-Language header that will take a significant time to parse and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) 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.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2880)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform parameter smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of requests forwarded by ReverseProxy in net/http/httputil. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted parameters that cannot be parsed and are rejected by net/http and force the application to include these parameters into the forwarding request. As a result, a remote attacker can smuggle potentially dangerous HTTP parameters into the request.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41715)
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 in regexp/syntax when handling regular expressions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Use of insufficiently random values (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30629)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in crypto/tls implementation when generating TLS tickets age. The newSessionTicketMsgTLS13.ageAdd is always set to "0" instead of a random value.
8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41716)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure processing of unsanitized NUL values in syscall.StartProcess and os/exec.Cmd. A local user on the Windows operating system can set a specially crafted environment variable and execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.
9) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41717)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive memory growth when handling HTTP/2 server requests. HTTP/2 server connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately 64 MiB per open connection.
10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1962)
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 in go/parser. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30580)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in Cmd.Start in os/exec allows execution of any binaries in the working directory named either "..com" or "..exe" by calling Cmd.Run, Cmd.Start, Cmd.Output, or Cmd.CombinedOutput when Cmd.Path is unset. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30635)
