Description
This security bulletin contains information about 42 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32206)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure processing of compressed HTTP responses. A malicious server can send a specially crafted HTTP response to curl and perform a denial of service attack by forcing curl to spend enormous amounts of allocated heap memory, or trying to and returning out of memory errors.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22971)
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 within the Spring application with a STOMP over WebSocket endpoint. A remote user can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27774)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to curl attempts to follow redirects during authentication process and does not consider different port numbers or protocols to be separate authentication targets. If the web application performs redirection to a different port number of protocol, cURL will allow such redirection and will pass credentials. It could also leak the TLS SRP credentials this way.
By default, curl only allows redirects to HTTP(S) and FTP(S), but can be asked to allow redirects to all protocols curl supports.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27776)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to curl can leak authentication or cookie header data during HTTP redirects to the same host but another port number. When asked to send custom headers or cookies in its HTTP requests, curl sends that set of headers only to the host which name is used in the initial URL, so that redirects to other hosts will make curl send the data to those. However, due to a flawed check, curl wrongly also sends that same set of headers to the hosts that are identical to the first one but use a different port number or URL scheme.
The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fix for #VU10224 (CVE-2018-1000007).
5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-0254)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in HSTS implementation that can allow curl to continue using HTTP protocol instead of HTTPS if the host name in the given URL used a trailing dot while not using one when it built the HSTS cache. A remote attacker with ability to intercept traffic can obtain potentially sensitive information.
23) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27775)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources when handling IPv6 protocol. Due to errors in the logic, the config matching function did not take the IPv6 address zone id into account which could lead to libcurl reusing the wrong connection when one transfer uses a zone id and a subsequent transfer uses another (or no) zone id.
24) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35260)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing .netrc file. A local user can pass a specially crafted file to the curl, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
25) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42915)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing non-200 proxy HTTP responses for the following schemes: dict, gopher, gophers, ldap, ldaps, rtmp, rtmps, telnet. A remote attacker can trigger a double free error by forcing the application into connecting to resources that are not allowed by the configured proxy.
26) Cleartext transmission of sensitive information (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42916)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when parsing URL with IDN characters that get replaced to ASCII counterparts as part of the IDN conversion. A remote attacker can bypass curl's HSTS check and trick it into using unencrypted HTTP protocol.
27) Expected behavior violation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32221)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to force unexpected application behavior.
The vulnerability exists due to a logic error for a reused handle when processing subsequent HTTP PUT and POST requests. The libcurl can erroneously use the read callback (CURLOPT_READFUNCTION) to ask for data to send, even when the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option has been set, if the same handle previously was used to issue a PUT request, which used that callback. As a result, such behavior can influence application flow and force unpredictable outcome.
28) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23437)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when parsing XML documents. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted XML document, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
29) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-0881)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the UI Infrastructure (Apache Xerces2 Java Parser) component in Oracle Transportation Management. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
30) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4002)
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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
31) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28890)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input in the RDF/XML parser. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
32) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-35252)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the way curl handles cookies with control codes (byte values below 32). When cookies that contain such control codes are later sent back to an
HTTP(S) server, it might make the server return a 400 response, effectively allowing a "sister site" to deny service to siblings.
33) Incorrect Implementation of Authentication Algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27782)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the way libcurl handles previously used connections in a connection pool for subsequent transfers. Several TLS and SSH settings were left out from the configuration match checks, resulting in erroneous matches for different resources. As a result, libcurl can send authentication string from one resource to another, exposing credentials to a third-party.
34) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1271)
The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information and write arbitrary files on the target system.
The weakness exists in the spring-webmvc module due to the improper serving of static resources from a file system on Microsoft Windows systems. A remote attacker can send a malicious request using a crafted URL, trigger directory traversal, overwrite, delete or read potentially sensitive file information.
35) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9878)
The vulnerability allows a physical authenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.The weakness exists due to improper sanitization of paths provided to the ResourceServlet. A physical attacker can trigger path traversal and gain access to potentially sensitive information.
36) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-5007)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to both Spring Security and the Spring Framework rely on URL pattern mappings for authorization and for mapping requests to controllers respectively. A remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability to bypass security restrictions.
37) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22096)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify existing log records.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and inject arbitrary records into log files.
38) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22576)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when re-using OAUTH2 connections for SASL-enabled protocols, such as SMPTP(S), IMAP(S), POP3(S) and LDAP(S) (openldap only). libcurl may reuse OAUTH2-authenticated connections without properly making sure that the connection was authenticated with the same credentials as set for this transfer. As a result, a connection that is successfully created and authenticated with a user name + OAUTH2 bearer can subsequently be erroneously reused even for user + [other OAUTH2 bearer], even though that might not even be a valid bearer.
A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability against applications intended for use in multi-user environments to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access to victim's accounts.
39) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27568)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read data or crash the application.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the REST Services (netplex json-smart-v1) component in PeopleSoft Enterprise PeopleTools. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read data or crash the application.
40) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27780)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass filters and checks.
The vulnerability exists due to the curl URL parser wrongly accepts percent-encoded URL separators like '/' when decoding the host name part of a URL, making it a different URL using the wrong host name when it is later retrieved. For example, the URL like http://example.com%2F10.0.0.1/, would be allowed by the parser and get transposed into http://example.com/10.0.0.1/.
A remote attacker can bypass various internal filters and checks and force the curl to connect to a wrong web application.
41) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27781)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when handling requests with the CURLOPT_CERTINFO option. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
42) Improper control of a resource through its lifetime (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27778)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to delete files on the system.
The vulnerability exists in the curl command line tool when --no-clobber is used together with --remove-on-error. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious server and force the command line tool to remove unexpected files.
