Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45491)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the dtdCopy() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow') (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45490)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in xmlparse.c when handling negative length for XML_ParseBuffer. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger buffer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the system.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45492)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the nextScaffoldPart() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) 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.
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.
