Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22918)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in uv__idna_toascii() function in libuv, which is used to convert strings to ASCII. A remote attacker can force the application to resolve a specially crafted hostname, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and gain access to sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22921)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists in Windows installer due to incorrect default permissions for files and folders that are set by the application. A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35517)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing TAR archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36090)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing ZIP archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29505)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data. A remote user can pass specially crafted XML data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


6) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35515)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing 7Z archives. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35516)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing 7Z archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
