Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.

1) Double Free

EUVDB-ID: #VU71771

Risk: High

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:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25136

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the sshd(8) daemon. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted data to the application, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vendor believes exploitation of this vulnerability has limitations as double free occurs "in the unprivileged pre-auth process that is subject to chroot(2) and is further sandboxed on most major platforms". Nevertheless we assign a high risk to this vulnerability.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

4) Stack-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU68967

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3479

CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the NSS_GetClientAuthData() function in /lib/ssl/authcert.c when accessing gnutls server without a user certificate in the database. A remote attacker can trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and crash the application using the affected library.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

5) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU69293

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3171

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields. A remote attacker can cause objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
