The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the xmlSAX2StartElement() function in /libxml2/SAX2.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted XML input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-27043)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass filtration.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing email address with a special character. A remote attacker can bypass a protection mechanism in which application access is granted only after verifying receipt of e-mail to a specific domain.
10) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-7104)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the sessionReadRecord() function in ext/session/sqlite3session.c when processing a corrupt changeset. A remote user can send a specially crafted request to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system or perform a denial of service attack.
11) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6135)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a side-channel attack in multiple NSS NIST curves, known as "Minerva". A remote attacker can recover the private key and decrypt data passed between server and client.
12) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5557)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly imposed security restrictions. A malicious file can execute code outside the sandbox if the tracker-extract process has first been compromised by a separate vulnerability.
13) 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.14) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-5363)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing key and initialisation vector lengths in EVP_EncryptInit_ex2(), EVP_DecryptInit_ex2() and EVP_CipherInit_ex2() function. A remote attacker can gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The following ciphers and cipher modes are impacted: RC2, RC4, RC5, CCM, GCM and OCB.
15) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-44638)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the rasterize_edges_8() function. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
16) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35939)
The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exist due to fix for CVE-2017-7500 and CVE-2017-7501 was incomplete: the check was only implemented for the parent directory of the file to be created. A local privileged user who owns another ancestor directory could potentially use this flaw to gain root privileges.
17) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35938)
The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability occurs when rpm sets the desired permissions and credentials after installing a file. A local privileged user can use this flaw to exchange the original file with a symbolic link to a security-critical file and escalate their privileges on the system.
18) Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35937)
The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exist due to race condition. A local privileged user can bypass the checks that were introduced in response to CVE-2017-7500 and CVE-2017-7501, potentially gaining root privileges.
19) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28180)
