Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41723)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources in the HPACK decoder. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 stream to the application, cause resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24537)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains //line directives with very large line numbers. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
3) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24538)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in html/template when handling JavaScript templates that contain backticks in code. If a template contains a Go template action within a JavaScript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary JavaScript code into the Go template.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24534)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing HTTP and MIME headers in net/textproto. A remote attacker can cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24536)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within mime/multipart and net/textproto components when parsing multipart forms. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted request to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41721)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP/2 request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP/2 requests when using MaxBytesHandler. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27664)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an HTTP/2 connection can hang during closing if shutdown were preempted by a fatal error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2816)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in Lua extension. A remote user with service:write ACL permissions for an upstream service can modify Envoy proxy config for downstream services without equivalent permissions for those services.
9) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41724)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in crypto/tls when handling large TLS handshake records. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert).
