Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal
EUVDB-ID: #VU73872
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29804
CWE-ID:
CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the filepath.Clean function on Windows, which can convert certain invalid paths to valid, absolute paths, potentially allowing a directory traversal attack. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform directory traversal attacks.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Code Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU68839
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30580
CWE-ID:
CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in Cmd.Start in os/exec allows execution of any binaries in the working directory named either "..com" or "..exe" by calling Cmd.Run, Cmd.Start, Cmd.Output, or Cmd.CombinedOutput when Cmd.Path is unset. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
3) Use of insufficiently random values
EUVDB-ID: #VU66122
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30629
CWE-ID:
CWE-330 - Use of Insufficiently Random Values
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in crypto/tls implementation when generating TLS tickets age. The newSessionTicketMsgTLS13.ageAdd is always set to "0" instead of a random value.

EUVDB-ID: #VU73870
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30634
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in crypto/rand on Windows when handling buffer larger than 1 << 32 - 1 bytes. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
