Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
EUVDB-ID: #VU72557
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4904
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the config_sortlist() function. A local user can trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Install updates from vendor's website.

EUVDB-ID: #VU76424
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31124
CWE-ID:
CWE-338 - Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG)
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when cross-compiling c-ares and using the autotools build system. As a result, the CARES_RANDOM_FILE is not be set, which results in usage of a rand() function as a fallback, leading to weak entropy.
