Description

This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-39222)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to the way OAuth are handled during the OIDC flow. A remote attacker can trick the victim to navigate to a malicious website and guiding them through the OIDC flow, steal the OAuth authorization code in the process. The authorization code then can be exchanged by the attacker for a token, gaining access to applications accepting that token.


2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-4559)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of filenames in the tarfile module in Python. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive with symbolic links inside or filenames that contain directory traversal characters (e.g. "..") and overwrite arbitrary files on the system.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-22217)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ares_parse_soa_reply() function in ares_parse_soa_reply.c. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3094)

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 when handling DNS updates. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by sending a flood of dynamic DNS updates.


5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41862)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can send an unterminated string during the establishment of Kerberos transport encryption, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


6) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48337)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when parsing name of a source-code file in lib-src/etags.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim use the "etags -u *" command on the directory with attacker controlled content and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.



7) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48339)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the hfy-istext-command() function when parsing the "file" and "srcdir" parameters, if a file name or directory name contains shell metacharacter. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


8) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48468)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within parse_required_member() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


9) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4016)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


10) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4641)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in gpasswd(1), which fails to clean memory properly. When asking for a new password, shadow-utils asks the password twice. If the password fails on the second attempt, shadow-utils fails in cleaning the buffer used to store the first entry. A local user with enough access can retrieve the password from the memory.


11) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22745)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in "Tss2_RC_SetHandler" and "Tss2_RC_Decode". A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


12) 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.


13) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-31486)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to missing verification of the TLS certificate. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and trick the application into downloading a malicious file.
