Description

This security bulletin contains information about 10 vulnerabilities.

1) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26159)

CWE-ID: CWE-601 - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data within the url.parse() function. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.

2) Insufficient Control of Network Message Volume (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25015)

CWE-ID: CWE-406 - Insufficient Control of Network Message Volume (Network Amplification)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

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. A remote attacker can send a HTTP requests that would consume all available resources and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25048)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper bounds checking. A remote attacker can overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the server to crash.

4) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20952)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

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

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

5) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33850)

CWE-ID: CWE-203 - Observable discrepancy

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

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

The vulnerability exists due to timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker can send an overly large number of trial messages for decryption and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.

6) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6237)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

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.

7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0727)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

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.

8) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-47745)

CWE-ID: CWE-319 - Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

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

The vulnerability exists due to software uses insecure communication channel to transmit sensitive information. A local user with ability to intercept network traffic can gain access to sensitive data.

9) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4218)

CWE-ID: CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

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

The vulnerability exists due to some files with xml content are parsed vulnerable against all sorts of XXE attacks. A local user can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted XML code and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.

10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25016)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

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

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect buffering logic. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
