Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4068)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to NPM package `braces` fails to limit the number of characters it can handle, which could lead to Memory Exhaustion. A remote attacker can send "imbalanced braces" as input, the parsing will enter a loop, which will cause the program to start allocating heap memory without freeing it at any moment of the loop. Eventually, the JavaScript heap limit is reached, and the program will crash.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51775)
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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion via large p2c (aka PBES2 Count) value and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-4029)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the lack of limitation of sockets for the management interface. A local administrator can cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
4) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34169)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an integer truncation issue when processing malicious XSLT stylesheets. A remote non-authenticated attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application to corrupt Java class files generated by the internal XSLTC compiler and execute arbitrary Java bytecode.
5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36033)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of HTML code within the jsoup cleaner, including javascript: URL expressions when the non-default SafeList.preserveRelativeLinks option is enabled. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
