Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21661)

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


2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50726)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation bug. A remote user with "create" but not "override" privileges can perform local sync.


3) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21652)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass brute-force protection.

The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling different application states. A remote attacker can exploit a chain of vulnerabilities, including a Denial of Service (DoS) flaw and in-memory data storage weakness, to effectively bypass the application's brute force login protection.


4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29893)

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. A remote attacker can crash the repo server component through an out of memory error by pointing it to a malicious Helm registry.


5) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21662)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform brute-force attack.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of a weak cache-based mechanism. A remote attacker can bypass the rate limit and brute force protections.
