Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24806)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling hostnames longer than 256 characters within the uv_getaddrinfo() function in src/unix/getaddrinfo.c and its windows counterpart src/win/getaddrinfo.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted hostname to the application, which can be resolved to an attacker controlled IP address and initiate unauthorized 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.


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) Reachable assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4076)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion when serving both stale cache data and authoritative zone content. A remote attacker can send specially crafted queries to the DNS server to trigger an assertion failure and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
