Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2006-20001)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the mod_dav module when handling HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, trigger a one byte buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4304)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a timing based side channel exists in the OpenSSL RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker can perform a Bleichenbacher style attack and decrypt data sent over the network.
To achieve a successful decryption an attacker would have to be able to send a very large number of trial messages for decryption. The vulnerability affects all RSA padding modes: PKCS#1 v1.5, RSA-OEAP and RSASVE.
3) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4450)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the PEM_read_bio_ex() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted PEM file to the application, trigger a double free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25147)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the apr_base64() function. 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.
5) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43551)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in the way curl handles IDN characters in hostnames. The HSTS mechanism could be bypassed if the hostname in the given URL first uses IDN characters that get replaced to ASCII counterparts as part of the IDN conversion. Then in a subsequent request it does not detect the HSTS state and makes a clear text transfer.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43552)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error while processing denied requests from HTTP proxies when using SMB or TELNET protocols. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0215)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the BIO_new_NDEF function. A remote attacker can trigger a use-after-free error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0286)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error related to X.400 address processing inside an X.509 GeneralName. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or read memory contents.
In most cases, the attack requires the attacker to provide both the certificate chain and CRL, neither of which need to have a valid signature. If the attacker only controls one of these inputs, the other input must already contain an X.400 address as a CRL distribution point, which is uncommon. As such, this vulnerability is most likely to only affect applications which have implemented their own functionality for retrieving CRLs over a network.
9) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23914)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to state issues when handling multiple requests, which results in ignoring HSTS support. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.10) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23915)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to state issues when handling multiple transfers in parallel, which results in ignoring HSTS support. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.11) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-23916)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the "chained" HTTP compression algorithms, where the number of links in the decompression chain was limited for each header instead of the entire request. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted compressed HTTP request with numerous headers and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25690)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to software does not correclty process CRLF character sequences in mod_rewrite and mod_proxy. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.
