Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Covert Timing Channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25659)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
python-cryptography 3.2 is vulnerable to Bleichenbacher timing attacks in the RSA decryption API, via timed processing of valid PKCS#1 v1.5 ciphertext.
2) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-28196)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion in MIT Kerberos 5 (aka krb5) implementation when processing ASN.1-encoded Kerberos messages in lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_encode.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application that uses Kerberos and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-36242)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when processing certain sequences of update calls to symmetrically encrypt multi-GB values. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
