Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Handling of Parameters (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3697)

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote user can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


2) 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.


3) 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.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23471)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error in containerd CRI stream server when handling terminal resize events. A remote user can request a TTY and force it to fail by sending a faulty command and exhaust memory on the host.


5) 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).


6) Incorrect calculation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24532)

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

The vulnerability exists due to the ScalarMult and ScalarBaseMult methods of the P256 Curve may return an incorrect result if called with some specific unreduced scalars.


7) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41721)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP/2 request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP/2 requests when using MaxBytesHandler. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/2 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.
