Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39325)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive consumption of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can bypass the http2.Server.MaxConcurrentStreams setting by creating new connections while the current connections are still being processed, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3341)
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 handling control channel messages . A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4527)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the getaddrinfo() function called with the AF_UNSPEC address family. A remote attacker with control over DNS server can send a DNS response via TCP larger than 2048 bytes, trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the application or gain access to potentially sensitive information.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that system is configured with no-aaaa mode via /etc/resolv.conf.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4806)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the getaddrinfo() function. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4813)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the gaih_inet() function when the getaddrinfo() function is called and the hosts database in
/etc/nsswitch.conf is configured with SUCCESS=continue or SUCCESS=merge. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4911)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
