Description
This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1747)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing untrusted YAML files passed via the "full_load" method or with the "FullLoader" loader. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary code by abusing the python/object/new constructor.
2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27270)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
3) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50312)
The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to weaker than expected security for outbound TLS connections caused by a failure to honor user configuration. An adjacent attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4641)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in gpasswd(1), which fails to clean memory properly. When asking for a new password, shadow-utils asks the password twice. If the password fails on the second attempt, shadow-utils fails in cleaning the buffer used to store the first entry. A local user with enough access can retrieve the password from the memory.
5) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1023)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak when using Netty FastThreadLocal data structures. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
6) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22259)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing URL with the UriComponentsBuilder component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
7) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22257)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions when the "AuthenticatedVoter#vote" passing a "null" Authentication parameter. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain unauthorized access to the application.
8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18342)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in the "yaml.load()" API (yaml.safe_load is not used). A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code on the target system.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51775)
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 trigger resource exhaustion via large p2c (aka PBES2 Count) value and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11468)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists due to insufficient restriction of amount of user-supplied content. A remote attacker can use manifest endpoint to trigger memory corruption and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
11) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29041)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data in malformed URLs. 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.
12) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28849)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to credentials are shared via headers when following cross-domain redirects. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
13) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22353)
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 trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
