Description
This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-36617)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when parsing URL. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted URL to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU74004 (CVE-2023-28755).
2) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26159)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data within the url.parse() function. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
3) PHP file inclusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2603)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to include and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect input validation when including PHP files in web/ajax/modal.php. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the affected application, include and execute arbitrary PHP code on the system with privileges of the web server.
4) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2602)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the error handling in the __wrap_pthread_create() function. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request, exploit vulnerability to exhaust the process memory and cause a denial of service condition.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-43804)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to urllib does not strip the "Cookie" HTTP header during cross-origin HTTP redirects. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34062)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that Reactor Netty HTTP Server is configured to serve static resources.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34054)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46589)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when parsing malformed trailer headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
9) 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.
10) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when recycling various internal objects. A remote attacker can force Tomcat to skip some parts of the recycling process leading to information leaking from the current request/response to the next.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46695)
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 during NFKC normalization. A remote attacker can pass a very large number of Unicode characters to "django.contrib.auth.forms.UsernameField" and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability affects Windows installations only.
12) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29154)
The vulnerability allows a remote server to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the rsync client when processing file names. A remote malicious server overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory and subdirectories on the connected peer.
13) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5764)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security controls on the target system.The weakness exists in the parse_arguments() function in 'options.c' due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send multiple '--protect-args' values and bypass the argument-sanitization protection mechanism.
14) Improper Privilege Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2002-0080)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to rsync, when running in daemon mode, does not properly call setgroups before dropping privileges. A local user can get supplemental group privileges to read certain files that would otherwise be disallowed.
