Description
This security bulletin contains information about 21 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Configuration (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3466)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a missing fix for #VU62796 (CVE-2022-27652) in previous release of the cri-o red hat package. A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49295)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not limit the number of queued PATH_RESPONSE and retransmits PATH_CHALLENGE and PATH_RESPONSE frames. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6135)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a side-channel attack in multiple NSS NIST curves, known as "Minerva". A remote attacker can recover the private key and decrypt data passed between server and client.
4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41717)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive memory growth when handling HTTP/2 server requests. HTTP/2 server connections contain a cache of HTTP header keys sent by the client. While the total number of entries in this cache is capped, an attacker sending very large keys can cause the server to allocate approximately 64 MiB per open connection.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41715)
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 regexp/syntax when handling regular expressions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32190)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within JoinPath and URL.JoinPath. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32189)
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 in
Float.GobDecode. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32148)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to unexpected behavior of httputil.ReverseProxy.ServeHTTP. When the method is called with a Request.Header map containing a nil value for the X-Forwarded-For header, ReverseProxy would set the client IP as the value of the X-Forwarded-For header, contrary to its documentation.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30631)
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 Reader.Read method when handling an archive that contains a large number of concatenated 0-length compressed files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27664)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an HTTP/2 connection can hang during closing if shutdown were preempted by a fatal error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Protection Mechanism Failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3259)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to missing HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.
12) Inefficient regular expression complexity (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40896)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing untrusted input with a regular expressions in pygments/lexers/smithy.py. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
13) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3172)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in kube-apiserver. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate 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.
14) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3162)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. Users authorized to list or watch one type of namespaced custom resource cluster-wide can read custom resources of a different kind in the same API group they are not authorized to read.
15) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2996)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not verify the server's certificate. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
16) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2995)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of the supplementary groups. A local user can bypass implemented security restrictions, leading to sensitive information disclosure or possible data modification.
17) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2880)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform parameter smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of requests forwarded by ReverseProxy in net/http/httputil. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted parameters that cannot be parsed and are rejected by net/http and force the application to include these parameters into the forwarding request. As a result, a remote attacker can smuggle potentially dangerous HTTP parameters into the request.
18) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2879)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to absent limits on the maximum size of file headers within the Reader.Read method in archive/tar. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
19) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1705)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of Transfer-Encoding headers in HTTP/1 responses. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/1 response to the client and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
20) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4235)
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 parsing YAML files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
21) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28241)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in dump_entry_data_list in maxminddb.c. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.
