Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU85682

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46838

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows an unprivileged guest to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU88378

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52340

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing very large ICMPv6 packets. A remote attacker can send a flood of IPv6 ICMP6 PTB messages, cause the high lock contention and increased CPU usage, leading to a denial of service.

Successful vulnerability exploitation requires a attacker to be on the local network or have a high bandwidth connection.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
