Description
This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23820)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-41190)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error. A remote authenticated attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and interpret the resulting content differently.
3) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22963)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the routing functionality when processing SpEL expressions. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22965)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
This vulnerability was dubbed "Spring4Shell".
5) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7709)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing slashes. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the target system.
6) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-25032)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when compressing data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3634)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when handling shared secrets. A remote attacker can supply a shared secret of a different size, trigger a memory corruption during the second key re-exchange and crash the application or potentially execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3672)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to hijack domains.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of host names, returned by the DNS server. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform domain hijacking.
9) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3737)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop. A remote attacker who controls a malicious server can force the client to enter an infinite loop on a 100 Continue response.
10) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4189)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client library when using it in PASV (passive) mode. A remote attacker can set up a malicious FTP server, trick the FTP client in Python into connecting back to a given IP address and port, which can lead to FTP client scanning ports which otherwise would not have been possible.
11) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23222)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the way the libpq process in PostgreSQL handles encrypted connections. A man-in-the-middle attacker can inject false responses to the client's first few queries, despite the use of SSL certificate verification and encryption. The attacker can exfiltrate the client's password or other confidential data that might be transmitted early in a session.
12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25219)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to BIND does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing lame cache. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1154)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the utf_ptr2char() function in regexp_bt.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
14) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1271)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation when processing filenames with two or more newlines. A remote attacker can force zgrep or xzgrep to write arbitrary files on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the affected system.
