Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-43804)

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

The vulnerability exists due to urllib does not strip the "Cookie" HTTP header during cross-origin HTTP redirects. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.


2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25399)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the Py_FindObjects() function. A local user can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


3) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29824)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in Py_FindObjects() function. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application.


4) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29159)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27043)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass filtration.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing email address with a special character. A remote attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44271)

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 in ImageFont. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
