Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Expected behavior violation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28322)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic error when sending HTTP POST and PUT requests using the same handle. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT request which used that callback. As a result, the application can misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer.
2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23807)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the XML parser when scanning of external DTDs. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to an incorrect fix for #VU24140 (CVE-2018-1311).
3) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5363)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing key and initialisation vector lengths in EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() and EVP_CipherInit_ex2() function. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The following ciphers and cipher modes are impacted: RC2, RC4, RC5, CCM, GCM and OCB.
4) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22329)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. 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.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25026)
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 handling HTTP requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38545)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a malicious website, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that SOCKS5 proxy is used and that SOCKS5 handshake is slow (e.g. under heavy load or DoS attack).
7) Improper certificate validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28321)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate validation when matching wildcards in TLS certificates for IDN names. A remote attacker crate a specially crafted certificate that will be considered trusted by the library.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that curl is built to use OpenSSL, Schannel or Gskit.
