Description

This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4039)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to the GCC's stack smashing protection does not detect or defend against overflows of dynamically-sized local variables on AArch64 targets. A remote attacker can bypass expected security restrictions and successfully exploit buffer overflow vulnerabilities.


2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28484)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in xmlSchemaFixupComplexType. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2283)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the pki_verify_data_signature() function in pki_crypto.c. The pki_key_check_hash_compatible() function can return SSH_OK value if memory allocation error happens later in the function. The  A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20863)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote user can use a specially crafted SpEL expression and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34462)

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.


6) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2976)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions in com.google.common.io.FileBackedOutputStream. A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.


7) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-4492)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the undertow client does not check the server identity presented by the server certificate in https connections. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack.


8) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-20883)

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 the application. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Specifically, an application is vulnerable if all of the conditions are true:

  • The application has Spring MVC auto-configuration enabled. This is the case by default if Spring MVC is on the classpath.
  • The application makes use of Spring Boot's welcome page support, either static or templated.
  • Your application is deployed behind a proxy which caches 404 responses.


9) Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3635)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to GzipSource does not handle an exception that might be raised when parsing a malformed gzip buffer. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34981)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to HTTP headers are not set in a response. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


11) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35788)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the fl_set_geneve_opt() function in net/sched/cls_flower.c in Linux kernel. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.


12) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29491)

The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing malformed data in a terminfo database file. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.



13) Untrusted search path (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38408)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of an insecure search path within the PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to a malicious SSH server and execute arbitrary code on the system, if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system.

Note, this vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU2015 (CVE-2016-10009).


14) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34034)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to the usage of "**" as a pattern in Spring Security configuration for WebFlux creates a mismatch in pattern matching between Spring Security and Spring WebFlux. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger the vulnerability to bypass security restrictions.
