Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper handling of exceptional conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21892)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way certain environment variables are handled by Node.js on Linux. A local user can use a specially crafted environment variable to escalate privileges on the system.
2) Improper Privilege Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22017)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid(). A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6237)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the way the EVP_PKEY_public_check() function handles RSA public keys. A remote attacker can supply an RSA key obtained from an untrusted source and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0727)
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 processing fields in the PKCS12 certificate. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted certificate to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Covert Timing Channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46809)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Marvin attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a covert timing channel in the privateDecrypt() API of the crypto library. A remote attacker can perform a covert timing side-channel during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding error handling and decrypt captured RSA ciphertexts or forge signatures, especially in scenarios involving API endpoints processing Json Web Encryption messages.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22019)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing HTTP requests with chunked encoding. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP request to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5678)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within DH_generate_key() and DH_check_pub_key() functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24806)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling hostnames longer than 256 characters within the uv_getaddrinfo() function in src/unix/getaddrinfo.c and its windows counterpart src/win/getaddrinfo.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted hostname to the application, which can be resolved to an attacker controlled IP address and initiate unauthorized requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
9) Inconsistency between implementation and documented design (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21890)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of wildcards in --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
10) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21896)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in Buffer.prototype.utf8Write. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
11) State Issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6129)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation on PowerPC CPU based platforms if the CPU provides vector instructions. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21891)
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.
