Description
This security bulletin contains information about 16 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8561)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote attacker that control the responses of MutatingWebhookConfiguration or ValidatingWebhookConfiguration requests is able to redirect kube-apiserver requests to private networks of the apiserver.
2) 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.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24789)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate data.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in archive/zip when handling zip archives. A remote attacker can create a zip file with content that will vary depending on the implementation reading the file.
4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24785)
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 in html/template when parsing errors returned from MarshalJSON methods. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24784)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of display names within the ParseAddressList function in net/mail. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a spoofing attack.
6) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24783)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists in crypto/x509 due to improper validation of a certificate chain that contains an unknown public key. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45290)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists in net/http due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when parsing a multipart form (either explicitly with Request.ParseMultipartForm or implicitly with Request.FormValue, Request.PostFormValue, or Request.FormFile). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45289)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure forwarding of headers and cookies to a third-party domains in net/http and net/http/cookiejar. A remote attacker can trick the application into sharing sensitive information with an attacker-controlled website.
9) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-8554)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to read and manipulate data.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the UDR (Kubernetes API) component in Oracle Communications Cloud Native Core Unified Data Repository. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to read and manipulate data.
10) 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.
11) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45288)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient limitations placed on the amount of CONTINUATION frames that can be sent within a single HTTP/2 stream. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP/2 requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.12) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32473)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target sytem.
The vulnerability exists due to the IPv6 is not disabled on network interfaces. A remote attacker can gain access to sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
13) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-47108)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to grpc Unary Server Interceptor does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing multiple requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-1002100)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
In all Kubernetes versions prior to v1.11.8, v1.12.6, and v1.13.4, users that are authorized to make patch requests to the Kubernetes API Server can send a specially crafted patch of type "json-patch" (e.g. `kubectl patch --type json` or `"Content-Type: application/json-patch+json"`) that consumes excessive resources while processing, causing a Denial of Service on the API Server.
15) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-5321)
The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information or alter container logs
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions in Kubernetes clusters with Windows nodes. A local user with access to the system can view and modify contents of the container logs.
16) 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.
