Description

This security bulletin contains information about 21 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-49766)

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

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing UNC paths on Windows. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.

2) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22020)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote user to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling non-network imports in data URLs. A remote user can bypass network import restrictions and execute arbitrary code.

3) Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27980)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of batch files in child_process.spawn / child_process.spawnSync. An attacker can inject a malicious command line argument and achieve code execution even if the shell option is not enabled.

4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-37371)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when handling GSS message token. A remote attacker can send specially crafted token to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-37370)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can modify the plaintext Extra Count field of a confidential GSS krb5 wrap token, causing the unwrapped token to appear truncated to the application.

6) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26461)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in /krb5/src/lib/gssapi/krb5/k5sealv3.c. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.

7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26458)

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

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak in /krb5/src/lib/rpc/pmap_rmt.c. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.

8) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42898)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an integer overflow within the S4U2Proxy handler on 32-bit systems. A remote user can send specially crafted request to the KDC server, 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.

9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-49767)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the werkzeug.formparser.MultiPartParser. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38039)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not limit the size of received headers from a single request that are stored for future reference. A remote attacker can send overly large HTTP responses to the application and consume all memory resources.

11) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6763)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in HttpURI. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.

12) External control of file name or path (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38546)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary cookies into request.

The vulnerability exists due to the way cookies are handled by libcurl. If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the file name as none (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).

Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to load cookies from would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named none - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the program using libcurl.

13) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38545)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the SOCKS5 proxy handshake. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a malicious website, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system but requires that SOCKS5 proxy is used and that SOCKS5 handshake is slow (e.g. under heavy load or DoS attack).

14) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-27144)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing JWS and JWE input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

15) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22869)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources within the ssh package when handling clients that complete the key exchange slowly, or not at all. A remote user can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

16) Improper authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-56128)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in Salted Challenge Response Authentication Mechanism (SCRAM) implementation. The application does not verify that the nonce sent by the client in the second message matches the nonce sent by the server in its first message. A remote attacker with access to plain text SCRAM authentication exchange can bypass forge the second once and gain unauthorized access to the application.

17) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-31141)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges within the application.

The vulnerability exists due to the way Apache Kafka Clients handles custom configurations. A remote user with access to REST API can read arbitrary files and variables on the system and escalate their privileges filesystem/environment access.

18) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12254)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in asyncio._SelectorSocketTransport.writelines(). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

19) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-40635)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when handling a UID:GID larger than the maximum 32-bit signed integer. A local user can pass a large user identifier value to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

20) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-21502)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read and manipulate data.

21) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5590)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
