Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Excessive Iteration (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4043)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to built-in support for parsing numbers with large scale in Java has a number of edge cases where the input text of a number can lead to much larger processing time than one would expect. A remote attacker can trigger excessive iteration and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44483)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files when using the JSR 105 API. A remote user can obtain a private key when generating an XML Signature with debug level enabled.
3) Inadequate encryption strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-48795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), which mishandles the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5.
The vulnerability was dubbed "Terrapin attack" and it affects both client and server implementations.
4) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51074)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Criteria.parse() method. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service attack.
