Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3765)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when handling user-supplied input. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) attack.
2) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2007-4559)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The
vulnerability exists due to improper validation of filenames in the
tarfile module in Python. A remote attacker can
create a specially crafted archive with symbolic links inside or
filenames that contain directory traversal characters (e.g. "..") and
overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-12762)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in the "printbuf_memappend". A remote attacker can create a specially crafted JSON file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4641)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in gpasswd(1), which fails to clean memory properly. When asking for a new password, shadow-utils asks the password twice. If the password fails on the second attempt, shadow-utils fails in cleaning the buffer used to store the first entry. A local user with enough access can retrieve the password from the memory.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22745)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in "Tss2_RC_SetHandler" and "Tss2_RC_Decode". A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
