Description
This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45288)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient limitations placed on the amount of CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single HTTP/2 stream. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP/2 requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49568)
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 when handling responses from a Git server. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Inadequate encryption strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-48795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), which mishandles the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5.
The vulnerability was dubbed "Terrapin attack" and it affects both client and server implementations.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28180)
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 when decompressing JWE with Decrypt or DecryptMulti. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-47400)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to resource management error within the hns3_nic_net_open() function in drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hns3/hns3_enet.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52425)
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 when parsing large tokens. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27393)
The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the xennet_alloc_one_rx_buffer() function in xen-netback implementation. A malicious guest userspace process can exhaust memory resources within the guest kernel and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27397)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the __nft_rbtree_insert(), nft_rbtree_deactivate() and nft_rbtree_gc() functions in net/netfilter/nft_set_rbtree.c, within the pipapo_get(), nft_pipapo_get(), nft_pipapo_insert(), pipapo_gc() and pipapo_deactivate() functions in net/netfilter/nft_set_pipapo.c, within the nft_rhash_key(), nft_rhash_cmp(), nft_rhash_lookup(), nft_rhash_get(), nft_rhash_update(), nft_rhash_insert() and nft_rhash_deactivate() functions in net/netfilter/nft_set_hash.c, within the nft_trans_gc_catchall_sync() and nf_tables_valid_genid() functions in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27403)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the flow_offload_dst_cookie() and nft_flow_dst_release() functions in net/netfilter/nf_flow_table_core.c. A local user can execute arbitrary code.
10) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28757)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input when using external parsers via XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
11) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35870)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the cifs_mark_tcp_ses_conns_for_reconnect() and cifs_find_smb_ses() functions in fs/smb/client/connect.c. A remote non-authenticated attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
12) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35958)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to resource management error within the ena_unmap_tx_buff() and ena_free_tx_bufs() functions in drivers/net/ethernet/amazon/ena/ena_netdev.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Improper Initialization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35960)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper initialization within the add_rule_fg() function in drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/fs_core.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-36957)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error within the rvu_dbg_qsize_write() function in drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/octeontx2/af/rvu_debugfs.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
