Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24788)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing DNS responses. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted DNS response to the application and cause denial of service conditions.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24790)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify application behavior.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses in net/netip within multiple methods, e.g. IsPrivate, IsLoopback. The affected methods return false for addresses which would return true in their traditional IPv4 forms, leading to potential bypass of implemented security features.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24791)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of "Expect: 100-continue" HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send multiple such requests and consume all available resources.
