Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24675)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists in the Golang's library encoding/pem. A remote attacker can send to victim a large (more than 5 MB) PEM input to cause a stack overflow in Decode and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28327)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the Golang's library crypto/elliptic. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted scalar input longer than 32 bytes to cause P256().ScalarMult or P256().ScalarBaseMult to panic and perform a denial of service attack.


3) 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.
