Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1473)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory reuse is not possible in the OPENSSL_LH_flush() function, which empties a hash table when decoding certificates or keys. If a long lived process periodically decodes certificates or keys its memory usage will expand without bounds and the process might be terminated by the operating system causing a denial of service.
2) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1292)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the c_rehash script distributed by some operating systems. A remote attacker with ability to pass data to c_rehash script can and execute arbitrary OS commands with the privileges of the script.
3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0778)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the BN_mod_sqrt() function when processing an ASN.1 certificate that contains elliptic curve public keys in compressed form or explicit elliptic curve parameters with a base point encoded in compressed form. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted certificate to the TLS server or client, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
