Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32681)

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

The vulnerability exists due to requests has been leaking Proxy-Authorization headers to destination servers when redirected to an HTTPS endpoint. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


2) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45857)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42503)

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 .tar archives. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and consume excessive CPU usage.


4) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48337)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when parsing name of a source-code file in lib-src/etags.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim use the "etags -u *" command on the directory with attacker controlled content and execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.



5) OS Command Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48339)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the hfy-istext-command() function when parsing the "file" and "srcdir" parameters, if a file name or directory name contains shell metacharacter. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
