Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) 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.

2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0397)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the OML4Py (Python) in Oracle Database Server. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.

3) 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.

4) 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.

5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5642)

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

The vulnerability exists due to CPython 3.9 and earlier doesn't disallow configuring an empty list ("[]") for SSLContext.set_npn_protocols() which is an invalid value for the underlying OpenSSL API when NPN is used. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
