Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22946)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error, related to incorrect enforcement of the --ssl-reqd option on the command line or CURLOPT_USE_SSL setting set to CURLUSESSL_CONTROL or CURLUSESSL_ALL with libcurl. A remote attacker with control over the IMAP, POP3 or FTP server can send a specially crafted but perfectly legitimate response to the libcurl client and force it silently to continue its operations without TLS encryption and transmit data in clear text over the network.
2) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22947)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists in the way libcurl handles the STARTTLS negotiation process. When curl connects to an IMAP, POP3, SMTP or FTP server to exchange data securely using STARTTLS to upgrade the connection to TLS level, the server can still respond and send back multiple responses before the TLS upgrade. Such multiple "pipelined" responses are cached by curl. curl would then upgrade to TLS but not flush the in-queue of cached responses and instead use and trust the responses it got before the TLS handshake as if they were authenticated.
Using this flaw, it allows a Man-In-The-Middle attacker to first inject the fake responses, then pass-through the TLS traffic from the legitimate server and trick curl into sending data back to the user thinking the attacker's injected data comes from the TLS-protected server.
Over POP3 and IMAP an attacker can inject fake response data.
3) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29155)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in the experimental back-sql backend to slapd during an LDAP search operation when the search filter is processed. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1586)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the PCRE2 library in the compile_xclass_matchingpath() function of the pcre2_jit_compile.c file. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error, gain access to sensitive information or perform a denial of service attack.
5) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24903)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing data in imtcp, imptcp, imgssapi, and imhttp modules used for TCP syslog reception. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability is possible if the attacker is able to directly send specially crafted messages to the rsyslog daemon or by injecting specially crafted data into log files. Vulnerability exploitation in the second scenario requires that the rsyslog client supports octet-counted framing, which is not a default configuration.
6) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33910)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to stack exhaustion within the basic/unit-name.c in systemd. A local user can crash the systemd (PID 1) and cause a kernel panic.
