Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23990)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the doProlog() 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.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-35525)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the INTERSEC query processing. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-35527)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when handling ALTER TABLE for views that have a nested FROM clause. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3709)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40674)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the doContent() function in xmlparse.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application that is using the affected library, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3515)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the CRL parser in libksba. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37434)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing a large gzip header within inflateGetHeader in inflate.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the affected application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
8) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2509)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within gnutls_pkcs7_verify() function when verifying the pkcs7 signatures. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
