Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38475)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in mod_rewrite when first segment of substitution matches filesystem path. A remote attacker can map URLs to filesystem locations that are permitted to be served by the server but are not intentionally/directly reachable by any URL and view contents of files or execute arbitrary code.


2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40763)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the SSL-VPN interface. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45318)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the SSL-VPN web management interface. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted data to the management interface, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


4) Use of hard-coded credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45319)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass certificate-based authentication.

The vulnerability exists due to presence of hard-coded credentials in application code. A remote authenticated user can circumvent the certificate requirement during authentication.


5) Use of Cryptographically Weak Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53702)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to guess generated secrets.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of weak random generator values within the SSL-VPN backup code generator. A remote attacker can guess generated secret.


6) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-53703)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the SSL-VPN mod_httprp library loaded by the Apache web server. A remote unauthenticated attacker can send specially crafted requests to the SSL-VPN web interface, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
