Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28948)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data in the Unmarshal function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3446)

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 the DH_check(), DH_check_ex() and EVP_PKEY_param_check() function when processing a DH key or DH parameters. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3817)

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 the application when checking the long DH keys. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5981)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform timing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the response times to malformed ciphertexts in RSA-PSK ClientKeyExchange differ from response times of ciphertexts with correct PKCS#1 v1.5 padding. A remote attacker can perform timing sidechannel attack in RSA-PSK key exchange.


5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45803)

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

The vulnerability exists due to urllib3 does not remove the HTTP request body when redirecting HTTP response using status codes 301, 302, or 303, after the request had its method changed from one that could accept a request body (e.g. from POST to GET). A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45142)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of HTTP header User-Agent and HTTP method. A remote attacker can send multiple requests with long randomly generated HTTP methods or/and User agents and consume memory resources, leading to a denial of service condition.

7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39323)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing line directives (e.g. "//line") in the code. A remote attacker can bypass restrictions on "//go:cgo_" directives, allowing blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution of arbitrary code when running "go build".


8) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5678)

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 DH_generate_key() and DH_check_pub_key() functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
