Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.


1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4853)

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to implemented HTTP security policies do not correctly sanitize certain character permutations, which may result in incorrect evaluation of permissions. A remote attacker can bypass the security policy altogether and gain unauthorized access to endpoints or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4527)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the getaddrinfo() function called with the AF_UNSPEC address family. A remote attacker with control over DNS server can send a DNS response via TCP larger than 2048 bytes, trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the application or gain access to potentially sensitive information.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that system is configured with no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf.




3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4806)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the getaddrinfo() function. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.



4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4813)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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 a use-after-free error within the gaih_inet() function when the getaddrinfo() function is called and the hosts database in /etc/nsswitch.conf is configured with SUCCESS=continue or SUCCESS=merge. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.



5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4911)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29491)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing malformed data in a terminfo database file. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
