Description

This security bulletin contains information about 17 secuirty vulnerabilities.


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

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.



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

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.



3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29469)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources when working with hashes of empty dict strings. A remote attacker can and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28484)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in xmlSchemaFixupComplexType. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Improper certificate validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28321)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation when matching wildcards in TLS certificates for IDN names. A remote attacker crate a specially crafted certificate that will be considered trusted by the library.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that curl is built to use OpenSSL, Schannel or Gskit.


6) State Issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27536)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to cURL will reuse a previously created connection even when the GSS delegation (CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION) option had been changed that could have changed the user's permissions in a second transfer. libcurl keeps previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers to reuse if one of them matches the setup. However, this GSS delegation setting was left out from the configuration match checks, making them match too easily, affecting krb5/kerberos/negotiate/GSSAPI transfers.


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

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.

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

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.



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

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.




10) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39318)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the html/template package when handling HMTL-like "<!--" and "-->" comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.


11) PHP file inclusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2603)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect input validation when including PHP files in web/ajax/modal.php. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected application, include and execute arbitrary PHP code on the system with privileges of the web server.


12) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2602)

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

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the error handling in the __wrap_pthread_create() function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request, exploit vulnerability to exhaust the process memory and cause a denial of service condition.


13) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


14) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39325)

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can bypass the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting by creating new connections while the current connections are still being processed, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


15) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39322)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in crypto/tls when processing  post-handshake message on QUIC connections. A remote attacker can send an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


16) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39321)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in crypto/tls when processing  post-handshake message on QUIC connections. A remote attacker can send an incomplete post-handshake message for a QUIC connection and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


17) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39319)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists within the html/template package caused by improperly applied rules for handling occurrences of "<script", "<!--", and "</script" within JS literals in <script> contexts. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
