Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU66881
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/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-2022-35252
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the way curl handles cookies with control codes (byte values below 32). When cookies that contain such control codes are later sent back to an
HTTP(S) server, it might make the server return a 400 response, effectively allowing a "sister site" to deny service to siblings.
