Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26461)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in /krb5/src/lib/gssapi/krb5/k5sealv3.c. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


2) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21626)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to an internal file descriptor leak that can cause a newly-spawned container process (from runc exec) to have a working directory in the host filesystem namespace or a malicious image to allow a container process to gain access to the host filesystem through runc run. A remote attacker can trick the victim into loading a malicious image to bypass sandbox restrictions and execute arbitrary code on the host OS.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28180)

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 decompressing JWE with Decrypt or DecryptMulti. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


4) 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.
