Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Covert Timing Channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-13176)

CWE-ID: CWE-385 - Covert Timing Channel

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to recover a private key.

The vulnerability exists due to a timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations. A remote attacker can recover the private key and decrypt data.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the attacker's process must either be located in the same physical computer or must have a very fast network connection with low latency.


2) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40896)

CWE-ID: CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
