Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5764)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling templates. A remote user can remove the unsafe designation from template data and execute arbitrary code on the system.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29483)

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 Tudoor mechanism. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0690)

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

The vulnerability exists due memory leak caused by a failure to respect the ANSIBLE_NO_LOG configuration in some scenarios. A local user can gain access to potentially sensitive information.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3651)

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 idna.encode() function. A remote attacker can pass an overly long domain name to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35195)

The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the session object does not verify requests after making first request with verify=False. A local administrator can bypass authentication.


6) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39689)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify data on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to Certifi python-certifi provide weaker than expected security, caused by the use of GLOBALTRUST root certificate. A remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.
