Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34156)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to encoding/gob does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Decoder.Decode. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, this vulnerability is related to #VU66068 (CVE-2024-34156).


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9341)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. When FIPS mode is enabled on a system, container runtimes may incorrectly handle certain file paths due to improper validation in the containers/common Go library. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit symbolic links and trick the system into mounting sensitive host directories inside a container.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34155)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to go/parser does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34158)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to go/build/constraint does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Parse on a "// +build" build tag line with deeply nested expressions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
