Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper check for certificate revocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-0853)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass OCSP verification.
The vulnerability exists due to curl inadvertently keeps the SSL session ID for connections in its cache even when the verify status (OCSP stapling)
test has failed. A subsequent transfer to the same hostname will be successful if the session ID cache is still fresh, which leads to skipping the
verify status check. As a result, OCSP verification is always successful for all subsequent TLS sessions.
2) State Issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6129)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in POLY1305 MAC (message authentication code) implementation on PowerPC CPU based platforms if the CPU provides vector instructions. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) 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.
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) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45853)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the zipOpenNewFileInZip4_64() function from MiniZip. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted archive, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
