Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4911)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3998)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in glibc realpath() function. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack or gain access to sensitive information.
3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5156)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak caused by an incorrect fix for #VU81447 (CVE-2023-4806). A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4527)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the getaddrinfo() function called with the AF_UNSPEC address family. A remote attacker with control over DNS server can send a DNS response via TCP larger than 2048 bytes, trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the application or gain access to potentially sensitive information.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that system is configured with no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4813)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the gaih_inet() function when the getaddrinfo() function is called and the hosts database in
/etc/nsswitch.conf is configured with SUCCESS=continue or SUCCESS=merge. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3515)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the CRL parser in libksba. 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.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28835)
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 when parsing the cert_list_size parameter in the gnutls_x509_trust_list_verify_crt2() function in certtool. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted PEM encoded certificate chain that contains more than 16 certificates to the certtool and crash it.
8) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28834)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a side-channel attack when using the gnutls_privkey_sign_data2 API function with the "GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE" flag. A remote attacker can launch Minerva attack and gain access to sensitive information.
