Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect calculation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24532)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the ScalarMult and ScalarBaseMult methods of the P256 Curve may return an incorrect result if called with some specific unreduced scalars.
2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41722)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within the filepath.Clean() function on Windows, which can transform an invalid path such as "a/../c:/b" into the valid path "c:". As a result, an attacker can read arbitrary files on the system.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41725)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper control over internal resources in net/http and mime/multipart. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41727)
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A local attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted malformed TIFF image, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41723)
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 the HPACK decoder. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 stream to the application, cause resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24536)
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 mime/multipart and net/textproto components when parsing multipart forms. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted request to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24537)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains //line directives with very large line numbers. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
8) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24538)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in html/template when handling JavaScript templates that contain backticks in code. If a template contains a Go template action within a JavaScript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary JavaScript code into the Go template.
9) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41724)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in crypto/tls when handling large TLS handshake records. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert).
