Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8023)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
Apache Mesos can be configured to require authentication to call the Executor HTTP API using JSON Web Token (JWT). In Apache Mesos versions pre-1.4.2, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.6.0 the comparison of the generated HMAC value against the provided signature in the JWT implementation used is vulnerable to a timing attack because instead of a constant-time string comparison routine a standard `==` operator has been used. A malicious actor can therefore abuse the timing difference of when the JWT validation function returns to reveal the correct HMAC value.
2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21626)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Security component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1552)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrectly imposed security restrictions in Autovacuum, REINDEX, CREATE INDEX, REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW, CLUSTER, and pg_amcheck. A remote authenticated user with permission to create non-temp objects can execute arbitrary SQL functions under a superuser identity and escalate privileges within the application.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41854)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing untrusted YAML files. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted YAML file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service attack.
5) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23806)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to unchecked return value within the Curve.IsOnCurve() function in crypto/elliptic. A remote attacker can force the application to incorrectly return true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element. As a result, an attacker can modify application flow, which can lead to unauthorized data modification or denial of service.
