Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36221)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in net/http/httputil ReverseProxy when handling ErrAbortHandler events. A remote attacker can trigger a race condition and crash the ReverseProxy.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44716)

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. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44717)

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 HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send multiple HTTP/2 requests to the server and exhaust all available memory resources.


4) 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.


5) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0847)

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

The vulnerability exists due to usage of an uninitialized resources. A local user can overwrite arbitrary file in the page cache, even if the file is read-only, and execute arbitrary code on the system with elevated privileges.

The vulnerability was dubbed Dirty Pipe.


6) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24407)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of password in the SQL plugin shipped with Cyrus SASL. A remote non-authenticated 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.


7) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25235)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the affected application lacks certain validation of encoding, such as checks for whether a UTF-8 character is valid in a certain context. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25236)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper protection against insertion of namesep characters into namespace URIs in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25315)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in storeRawNames function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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