Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35941)

CWE-ID: CWE-116 - Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper encoding or escaping of output. A remote attacker can construct credentials with permanent validity.


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35942)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the gRPC access logger extension. A remote user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35943)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the HTTP CORS filter. A remote user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35944)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of requests and responses with mixed case schemes. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and bypass some requests with mixed schemes.


5) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35945)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak when handling HTTP/2 requests within the nghttp2 codec. A remote attacker can send RST_STREAM immediately followed by the GOAWAY frames to the application and force memory leak.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2828)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

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


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.
