Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29857)

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

The vulnerability exists due to library does not properly control consumption of internal resources when importing an EC certificate with specially crafted F2m parameters. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5363)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing key and initialisation vector lengths in EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() and EVP_CipherInit_ex2() function. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The following ciphers and cipher modes are impacted: RC2, RC4, RC5, CCM, GCM and OCB.


3) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45801)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform prototype pollution, which can result in XSS attack.


4) DOM-based cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-47875)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.


5) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38999)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.

The vulnerability exists due to prototype pollution via the function s.contexts._.configure. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform prototype pollution, which can result in information disclosure or data manipulation.


6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21272)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Connector/Python component in MySQL Connectors. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.


7) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21090)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Connector/Python component in MySQL Connectors. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
