Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3521)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in RPM's signature functionality, as RPM does not check the binding signature of subkeys before importing them. A remote attacker with ability to add malicious subkey to a legitimate public key can run malicious code on the system.
2) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3999)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error glibc getcwd() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that is using the affected library version, trigger an off-by-one error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
3) LDAP injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-39031)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing DLAP queries. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to modify the original LDAP query and gain unauthorized access to the application.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23219)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the clnt_create() function in the sunrpc module. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that is using the affected library version, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23218)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the svcunix_create() in the sunrpc module ib glibc. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that is using the affected library version, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
