Description
This security bulletin contains information about 17 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24538)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in html/template when handling JavaScript templates that contain backticks in code. If a template contains a Go template action within a JavaScript template literal, the contents of the action can be used to terminate the literal, injecting arbitrary JavaScript code into the Go template.
2) Improper Neutralization of HTTP Headers for Scripting Syntax (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29406)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in HTTP/1 client when handling HTTP Host header. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request with a maliciously crafted Host header and inject additional headers or entire requests.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to perform cross-site scripting, cache poisoning or session hijacking attacks.
3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-29400)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when processing HTML attributes. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
4) Improper Preservation of Permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28642)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper preservation of permissions in the AppArmor and SELinux when /proc inside the container is symlinked with a specific mount configuration. A remote attacker can gain access to the target application.
5) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27561)
The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions in the libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go. A local user can gain elevated privileges on the target system.
6) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19921)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions, related to libcontainer/rootfs_linux.go in runc. A local user with ability to spawn two containers with custom volume-mount configurations, and run custom images can escalate privileges on the system.
7) Improper Preservation of Permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25809)
The vulnerability allows a local user to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the rootless "/sys/fs/cgroup" is writable when cgroupns is not unshared. A local administrator can gain the write access to user-owned cgroup hierarchy "/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/..." on the host.
8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24539)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when handling angle brackets in CSS context. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
9) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24537)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when calling any of the Parse functions on Go source code which contains //line directives with very large line numbers. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
10) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3064)
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 parsing large YAML documents. A remote attacker can consume excessive amounts of CPU or memory and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24536)
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 mime/multipart and net/textproto components when parsing multipart forms. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted request to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24534)
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 parsing HTTP and MIME headers in net/textproto. A remote attacker can cause an HTTP server to allocate large amounts of memory from a small request and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3978)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
14) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41725)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper control over internal resources in net/http and mime/multipart. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
15) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41724)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources in crypto/tls when handling large TLS handshake records. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability affects all TLS 1.3 clients, TLS 1.2 clients which explicitly enable session resumption (by setting Config.ClientSessionCache to a non-nil value), and TLS 1.3 servers which request client certificates (by setting Config.ClientAuth >= RequestClientCert).
16) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41723)
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 the HPACK decoder. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 stream to the application, cause resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
17) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24540)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing whitespace characters. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
