Description

This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4160)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt TLS traffic.

The vulnerability exists due to BN_mod_exp may produce incorrect results on MIPS. A remote attacker can decrypt TLS traffic. According to vendor, multiple EC algorithms are affected, including some of the TLS 1.3 default curves. 

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires certain pre-requisites for attack, such as obtaining and  reusing private keys. 


2) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2102)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to HAProxy statistics in openstack-tripleo-image-elements are non-authenticated over the network. A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0056)

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 within the http_wait_for_response() function when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request the proxy server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41915)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to software does not validate header values when calling DefaultHttpHeaders.set with an iterator of values. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary header values and perform HTTP splitting attacks.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.


5) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-8806)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of symbolic links in the pg_ctlcluster, pg_createcluster, and pg_upgradecluster script files. A local user can send a specially-crafted request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Creation of Temporary File With Insecure Permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24823)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of insecure permissions for temporary files. A local user can view contents of temporary files and gain access to sensitive information.


7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34462)

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 if no idle timeout handler was configured. A remote attacker can send a client hello packet, which leads the server to buffer up to 16MB of data per connection and results in a denial of service condition.


8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3711)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in EVP_PKEY_decrypt() function within implementation of the SM2 decryption. A remote attacker can send specially crafted SM2 content for decryption to trigger a buffer overflow by 62 bytes and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3712)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing ASN.1 strings related to a confusion with NULL termination of strings in array. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0778)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the BN_mod_sqrt() function when processing an ASN.1 certificate that contains elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point encoded in compressed form. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the TLS server or client, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0464)

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 verifying X.509 certificate chains that include policy constraints. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted certificate to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


12) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0466)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the X509_VERIFY_PARAM_add0_policy() function, which does not perform the certificate policy check despite being implicitly enabled. A remote attacker can bypass expected security restrictions and perform MitM attack.


13) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0465)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when validating certificate policies in leaf certificates. A remote attacker that controls a malicious CA server can issue a certificate that will be validated by the application.


14) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2650)

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 the application when processing OCSP, PKCS7/SMIME, CMS, CMP/CRMF or TS subsystems with no message size limit. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


15) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3446)

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 the DH_check(), DH_check_ex() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() function when processing a DH key or DH parameters. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


16) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3817)

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 the application when checking the long DH keys. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


17) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5950)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The SingleDocParser::HandleNode function in yaml-cpp (aka LibYaml-C++) 0.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption and application crash) via a crafted YAML file.


18) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-21968)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Libraries component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.
