Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32081)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-poison in prepare_inplace_add_virtual at /storage/innobase/handler/handler0alter.cc. A local user can trigger the vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the target system.


2) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32082)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion at table->get_ref_count() == 0 in dict0dict.cc. A remote user can perform a denial of service attack.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32084)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a segmentation fault via the component sub_select. A local user can send a specially crafted file and escalate privileges on the system.


4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32089)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a segmentation fault via the component st_select_lex_unit::exclude_level. A local user can send a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32091)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-poison in in __interceptor_memset at /libsanitizer/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common_interceptors.inc. A local user can create a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


6) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38791)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to compress_write() function in extra/mariabackup/ds_compress.cc does not release data_mutex upon a stream write failure. A local user can trigger a deadlock and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-47015)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the spider_db_mbase::print_warnings() function. A remote user can pass specially crafted data to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5157)

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 launch a simple port scan on ports 3306/tcp and 4567/tcp and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
