1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21538)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.


2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12900)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the BZ2_decompress() function in decompress.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive, trick the victim into opening it using the affected library, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

3) Insecure Storage of Sensitive Information (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10041)

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

The vulnerability exists due to software stores secrets in memory in plain text. A local user can read the memory and obtain passwords in plain text when PAM is used to perform authentication.


4) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-10963)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in pam_access module where certain rules in its configuration file are mistakenly treated as hostnames. A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-50602)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the XML_ResumeParser function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
