Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41993)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing HTML content in WebKit. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted website, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
2) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6597)
The vulnerability allows a local user to delete arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a symlink following issue during cleanup when handling temporary files. A local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and delete it.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0450)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the zipfile module does not properly control consumption of internal resources when extracting files from a zip archive. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive aka zip-bomb to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20696)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the rar4 reader in Libarchive. A remote user can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20697)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the Windows Libarchive. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted website or open a file and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28182)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to reading the unbounded number of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2961)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the iconv() function when converting string to the ISO-2022-CN-EXT character set. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger a 4 byte buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32487)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling newline characters in the filename in filename.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to pass a specially crafted filename to the affected command and execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.
9) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33599)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in nscd binary. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exhaust the nscd fixed size cache to trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
10) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33600)
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 nscd cache fails to add a not-found netgroup response to the cache. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33601)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The
vulnerability exists due to the Name Service Cache Daemon (nscd) can terminate the service during its startup. A local use can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33602)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to netgroup cache assumes NSS callback is using in-buffer strings in nscd binary. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
