Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1962)

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 in go/parser. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2068)

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.

The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU62765 (CVE-2022-1292).


3) 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.


4) Missing Encryption of Sensitive Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2097)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error in AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimized implementation. Under specific circumstances OpenSSL does not encrypt the entire message and can reveal sixteen bytes of data that was preexisting in the memory that wasn't written. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.



5) 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.
