Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38561)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4304)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker can perform a Bleichenbacher style attack and decrypt data sent over the network.
To achieve a successful decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a very large number of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects all RSA padding modes: PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-OEAP and RSASVE.
3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0215)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the BIO_new_NDEF function. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) 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.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2828)
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. A remote attacker can cause the amount of memory used by a named resolver to go well beyond the configured max-cache-size limit. The effectiveness of the attack depends on a number of factors (e.g. query load, query patterns), but since the default value of the max-cache-size statement is 90%, in the worst case the attacker can exhaust all available memory on the host running named, leading to a denial-of-service condition.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24329)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented filters.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URLs that start with blank characters within urllib.parse component of Python. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted URL to bypass existing filters.
