Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11468)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists due to insufficient restriction of amount of user-supplied content. A remote attacker can use manifest endpoint to trigger memory corruption and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39318)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the html/template package when handling HMTL-like "<!--" and "-->" comment tokens, nor hashbang "#!" comment tokens, in <script> contexts. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39319)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists within the html/template package caused by improperly applied rules for handling occurrences of "<script", "<!--", and "</script" within JS literals in <script> contexts. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39323)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing line directives (e.g. "//line") in the code. A remote attacker can bypass restrictions on "//go:cgo_" directives, allowing blocked linker and compiler flags to be passed during compilation. This can result in unexpected execution of arbitrary code when running "go build".
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45142)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of HTTP header User-Agent and HTTP method. A remote attacker can send multiple requests with long randomly generated HTTP methods or/and User agents and consume memory resources, leading to a denial of service condition.6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45283)
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45284)
The vulnerability allows a local user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to the IsLocal() function from the path/filepath package does not correctly detect reserved device names in some cases when executed on Windows. Reserved names followed by spaces, such as "COM1 ", and reserved names
"COM" and "LPT" followed by superscript 1, 2, or 3, are incorrectly
reported as local. A local user can abuse such behavior and bypass implemented security restrictions.
8) 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.
9) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49569)
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 overwrite arbitrary files on the system. Applications are only affected if they are using the ChrootOS, which is the default when using "Plain" versions of Open and Clone funcs (e.g. PlainClone).
