Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45338)
CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion
CVSSv4: 8.7 [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]
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 several Parse functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-45339)
CWE-ID: CWE-59 - Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following')
CVSSv4: 4.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure link following when writing log files. A local user can point a symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with the log data.
3) Protection mechanism failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-32462)
CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure
CVSSv4: 7.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient implementation of security measures when running sudo with -h (--host) option. If the current configuration provides access to users based on the host they are allowed to execute commands, a local user can bypass such a restriction by providing the hostname via the "-h" option they are allowed to execute commands. The vulnerability affects systems that use a common sudoers file that is distributed to multiple machines or when LDAP-based sudoers (including SSSD) is used.
