Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4285)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when parsing an ELF file containing corrupt symbol version information. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40897)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing HTML content. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
5) 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.
6) 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.
7) 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.
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) Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow') (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31130)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a buffer underflow when using certain IPv6 addresses, such as 0::00:00:00/2". A local privileged user can trigger a boundary error and crash the service.
