CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0286

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or read memory contents.

In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.

25) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU88211

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2511

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-41996

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to unnecessary validation of the public keys in the Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Protocol when an approved safe prime is used. A remote attacker from the client side can trigger unnecessarily expensive server-side DHE modular-exponentiation calculations and cause asymmetric resource consumption, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package edk2 to the latest version.

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5535

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the SSL_select_next_proto() function when using NPN. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package edk2 to the latest version.

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6119

CWE-ID: CWE-843 - Type confusion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error when performing certificate name checks. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted X.509 certificate to the server, trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9143

CWE-ID: CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when using the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, the vulnerability can be exploited against the application in rare cases only that involve "exotic" curve encoding.

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-9232

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in OpenSSL HTTP client API functions if the "no_proxy" environment variable is set and the host portion of the authority component of the HTTP URL is an IPv6 address. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
