Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) 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.

2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23336)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform web cache spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in django.utils.http.limited_parse_qsl() when parsing strings with a semicolon (";"). A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a spoofing attack.


3) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11079)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to application allows to use hostvars object to reference and execute templated content. A remote user can bypass unsafe content protections and execute arbitrary code if remote data or module outputs are improperly templated within playbooks.


4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4741)

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 SSL_free_buffers() function. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, the vulnerability affects only applications that call the vulnerable function.


5) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-8775)

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

The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files. A local user can read the log files and gain access to sensitive data.


6) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9902)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the ansible-core `user` module. A local user can silently create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control over the contents of the file as its owner.
