Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24786)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when parsing data in an invalid JSON format within the protojson.Unmarshal() function. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
3) Unprotected Transport of Credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28110)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exist due to an error in the cloudevents.WithRoundTripper method used for creation of a cloudevents.Client with an authenticated http.RoundTripper. When the transport is populated with an authenticated transport, then http.DefaultClient is modified with the authenticated transport and will start to send Authorization tokens to any endpoint it is used to contact. As a result, a remote attacker can intercept credentials leaked by the go-sdk.
4) 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.
5) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25062)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in xmlValidatePopElement when using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML document to the application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28182)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to reading the unbounded number of HTTP/2 CONTINUATION frames. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) 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.
