Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack
EUVDB-ID: #VU62767
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1434
CWE-ID:
CWE-300 - Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint ('Man-in-the-Middle')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists in OpenSSL 3.0 implementation of the RC4-MD5 ciphersuite due to incorrect usage of AAD data as the MAC key. This makes the MAC key trivially predictable. An attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack to modify data being sent from one endpoint to an OpenSSL 3.0 recipient such that the modified data would still pass the MAC integrity check.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Security features bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU62766
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1343
CWE-ID:
CWE-254 - Security Features
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when validating OCSP response within the OCSP_basic_verify function. In the case where the (non-default) flag OCSP_NOCHECKS is used then the
response will be positive (meaning a successful verification) even in
the case where the response signing certificate fails to verify. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.

3) OS Command Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU62765
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 8.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1292
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.

4) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation
EUVDB-ID: #VU62768
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1473
CWE-ID:
CWE-789 - Uncontrolled Memory Allocation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to memory reuse is not possible in the OPENSSL_LH_flush() function, which empties a hash table when decoding certificates or keys. If a long lived process periodically decodes certificates or keys its memory usage will expand without bounds and the process might be terminated by the operating system causing a denial of service.
