Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.
1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36221)
CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the serialNumberAndIssuerCheck() function in schema_init.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application, trigger an integer underflow and crash the slapd.
2) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36222)
CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion in slapd in the saslAuthzTo validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Release of invalid pointer or reference (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36224)
CWE-ID: CWE-763 - Release of invalid pointer or reference
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to release of an invalid pointer when processing saslAuthzTo requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to slapd and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36225)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the saslAuthzTo processing. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the slapd, trigger a double free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack
5) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36226)
CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application leading to a memch->bv_len miscalculation during saslAuthzTo processing. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request to the slapd and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36223)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error during the Values Return Filter control handling. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the slapd, trigger a double free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36227)
CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in slapd with the cancel_extop Cancel operation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and perform a denial of service conditions.
8) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36228)
CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Green
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow when processing the certificate list exact assertion. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the slapd, trigger integer underflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
