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 control channel messages . A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48566)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information,

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in compare_digest in Lib/hmac.py. A remote attacker can exploit the race and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.


7) Improper Privilege Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26604)

CWE-ID: CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management

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 escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management for some Sudo configurations, e.g., plausible sudoers files in which the "systemctl status" command may be executed. Specifically, systemd does not set LESSSECURE to 1, and thus other programs may be launched from the less program. This presents a substantial security risk when running systemctl from Sudo, because less executes as root when the terminal size is too small to show the complete systemctl output.


8) Insecure Temporary File (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2800)

CWE-ID: CWE-377 - Insecure Temporary File

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A local user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) 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.
