Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7592)
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 within the 'http.cookies' standard library module when parsing cookies that contained backslashes for quoted characters in the cookie value. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Incorrect provision of specified functionality (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4032)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists within the "ipaddress" module that contains incorrect information and private and public IP addresses for IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. This affects the is_private and is_global properties of the
ipaddress.IPv4Address, ipaddress.IPv4Network, ipaddress.IPv6Address, and
ipaddress.IPv6Network classes. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions based on IP addresses or perform other actions, depending on the application's capabilities.
3) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6232)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of .tar archives when processing it with regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27043)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass filtration.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing email address with a special character. A remote attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain.
5) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8088)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the the CPython "zipfile" module affecting "zipfile.Path". A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
6) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6923)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of newlines for email headers when
serializing an email message. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary headers into serialized email messages.
