3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22809)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists within the sudoedit (aka -e) feature due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR). The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a "--"
argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='vim --
/path/to/extra/file' value. A local user can append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process and escalate privileges on the system.
4) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43945)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attacl.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the Linux kernel NFSD implementation. A remote attacker can send the RPC message over TCP with garbage data added at the end of the message, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32190)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences within JoinPath and URL.JoinPath. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2880)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform parameter smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of requests forwarded by ReverseProxy in net/http/httputil. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted parameters that cannot be parsed and are rejected by net/http and force the application to include these parameters into the forwarding request. As a result, a remote attacker can smuggle potentially dangerous HTTP parameters into the request.
7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2879)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to absent limits on the maximum size of file headers within the Reader.Read method in archive/tar. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41715)
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 regexp/syntax when handling regular expressions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3996)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack (DoS).
The vulnerability exists due to double-locking error if an X.509 certificate contains a malformed policy constraint and policy processing is enabled. A remote attacker can under certain circumstances perform a denial of service attack against the web server.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that policy processing being enabled on the server.
10) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28893)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the SUNRPC subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
11) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0854)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the Linux kernel’s DMA subsystem when processing DMA_FROM_DEVICE calls. A local user can trigger a memory leak error and read random memory from the kernel space.
12) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4139)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the i915 kernel driver on Linux kernel. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
13) Reliance on Reverse DNS Resolution for a Security-Critical Action (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-43548)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DNS rebinding attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of octal IP address within the Node.js rebinding protector for --inspec. A remote attacker can
resolve the invalid octal address via DNS. When combined with an active
--inspect session, such as when using VSCode, an attacker can perform DNS
rebinding and execute arbitrary code in client's browser.
14) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0217)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when validating the DSA public key. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4203)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when performing name constraint checking of the X.509 certificates. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted X.509 certificate to the affected server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
16) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0401)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error during PKCS7 data verification. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
17) Release of invalid pointer or reference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0216)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to invalid pointer dereference in d2i_PKCS7 functions. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
18) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20444)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of HTTP headers without the colon within the HttpObjectDecoder.java file in Netty. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the application and perform HTTP request smuggling attack.
19) Uncontrolled memory allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10237)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists due to unbounded memory allocation. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash and deserialize attacker-provided data, because the AtomicDoubleArray class (when serialized with Java serialization) and the CompoundOrdering class (when serialized with GWT serialization) perform eager allocation without appropriate checks on what a client has sent and whether the data size is reasonable.
20) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2047)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing invalid URIs such as http://localhost;/path. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and bypass implemented security restrictions, as the Jetty's HttpClient, and Jetty's ProxyServlet / AsyncProxyServlet / AsyncMiddleManServlet will wrongly interpret an authority of such URI as the one with a hostname.
21) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2588)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The
vulnerability exists due to a double free error within the network packet scheduler implementation
in the route4_change() function in Linux kernel when removing all references to a route filter
before freeing it. A local user can run a specially crafted program to
crash the kernel or execute arbitrary code.
22) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2601)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
