Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40897)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
2) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23931)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to misuse Python API.
The vulnerability exists due to a soundness bug within the Cipher.update_into function, which can allow immutable objects (such as bytes) to be mutated. A malicious programmer can misuse Python API to introduce unexpected behavior into the application.
3) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0286)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or read memory contents.
In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.
4) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1436)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when constructing a JSONArray from a Collection that contains a self-reference in one of its elements. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45061)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of an unnecessary quadratic algorithm in one path when processing some inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted name to he decoder, trigger resource excessive CPU consumption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23491)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certificate validation checks.
The vulnerability exists due to presence of the TrustCor certificate in the Root Certificates list. the certificate is removed due to TrustCor's ownership also operated a business that produced spyware. Therefore, any checks that rely on digital signatures of trusted certificates were compromised.
7) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22047)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Portal component in PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.
8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22014)
The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Portal component in PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools. A local non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
9) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1471)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within the SnakeYaml's Constructor() class. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted yaml content to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
