Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32002)
CWE-ID: CWE-434 - Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file during file upload. A remote attacker can upload a malicious file and execute it on the server.
2) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32004)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a process control issue while cloning special-crafted local repositories. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the target system.
3) UNIX Hard Link (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32020)
CWE-ID: CWE-62 - UNIX Hard Link
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the original repository.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure hardlink following when working with local clones. Local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's object database when source and target repository reside on the same disk. If the source repository is owned by a different user, then those hardlinked files may be rewritten at any point in time by the untrusted user.
4) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32021)
CWE-ID: CWE-61 - UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the original repository.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure symlink following issue. When cloning a local source repository that contains symlinks via the filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to arbitrary user-readable files on the same filesystem as the target repository in the objects/ directory.
5) Code injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32465)
CWE-ID: CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when working with zip files or tarballs during cloning. A remote attacker can and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
