Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 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) Uncontrolled Recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21708)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an uncontrolled recursion. A remote user can execute a specially crafted query and perform a denial of service attack.
3) 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.
4) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1048)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in the Linux kernel’s sound subsystem in the way a user triggers concurrent calls of PCM hw_params. A local user can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges and perform a denial-of-service attack.
5) 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.
6) Link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5154)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the malicious container creates symlink "mtab" on the host External. A remote attacker can gain elevated privileges on the system.
7) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26642)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions within the nf_tables_newset() function in net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c. A local user can set arbitrary timeouts, which can result in a denial of service condition.
8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26993)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to information disclosure within the sysfs_break_active_protection() function in fs/sysfs/file.c. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.
9) 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.
