Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Privilege Management (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22017)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges.
The vulnerability exists due to setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid(). A local user can escalate privileges on the system.
2) Inconsistency between implementation and documented design (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21890)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of wildcards in --allow-fs-read and --allow-fs-write. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information.
3) Covert Timing Channel (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46809)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Marvin attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a covert timing channel in the privateDecrypt() API of the crypto library. A remote attacker can perform a covert timing side-channel during PKCS#1 v1.5 padding error handling and decrypt captured RSA ciphertexts or forge signatures, especially in scenarios involving API endpoints processing Json Web Encryption messages.
4) Improper handling of exceptional conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21892)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to the way certain environment variables are handled by Node.js on Linux. A local user can use a specially crafted environment variable to escalate privileges on the system.
5) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21501)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application when used on the backend and with the style attribute allowed. A remote attacker can enumerate files on the system, including project dependencies.
6) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27298)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the literalizeRegexPart() function when Parse Server is configured to use the PostgreSQL database. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.
7) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21891)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
8) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21896)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when processing directory traversal sequences in Buffer.prototype.utf8Write. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and read arbitrary files on the system.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22025)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling brotli decoding. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
