Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


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

CWE-ID: CWE-185 - Incorrect Regular Expression

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-55565)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop. A remote user can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-25193)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application attempts to load a file that does not exist. A local user can create a large file on the system and crash the application.

Note, the vulnerability affects Windows installations only.


4) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47535)

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an unsafe reading of an environment file on Windows. A local user can create an overly large file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-24970)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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 in SslHandler when using native SSLEngine. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
