Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31525)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a DoS attack.
The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion when processing HTTP headers. A remote attacker can send a large header to ReadRequest or ReadResponse and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34558)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper certificate verification in crypto/tls package in Go when processing X.509 certificates. The application does not properly assert that the type of public key in an X.509 certificate matches the expected type when doing a RSA based key exchange, allowing a malicious TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic.
3) Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27218)
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect conversion between numeric types in Gnome Glib. If g_byte_array_new_take() was called with a buffer of 4GB or more on a 64-bit platform, the length would be truncated modulo 2**32, causing unintended length truncation.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37576)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_rtas.c in the Linux kernel through 5.13.5 on the powerpc platform. An attacker on KVM guest OS can cause host OS memory corruption via rtas_args.nargs and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.
5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38201)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-38575)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the IScsiHexToBin() function in NetworkPkg/IScsiDxe. A remote attacker with ability to inject data into communication between edk2 and the iSCSI target can execute arbitrary code on the target system.
