Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU81097

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4527

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the getaddrinfo() function called with the AF_UNSPEC address family. A remote attacker with control over DNS server can send a DNS response via TCP larger than 2048 bytes, trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the application or gain access to potentially sensitive information.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that system is configured with no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf.



Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
