Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU77573

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34462

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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 if no idle timeout handler was configured. A remote attacker can send a client hello packet, which leads the server to buffer up to 16MB of data per connection and results in a denial of service condition.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
