Description

This security bulletin contains information about 22 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) 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.

2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34156)

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

The vulnerability exists due to encoding/gob does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Decoder.Decode. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, this vulnerability is related to #VU66068 (CVE-2024-34156).


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26125)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to poison application's cache.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing X-Forwarded-Prefix header. A remote attacker can pass send specially crafted request to the application and perform cache poisoning.


4) 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.


5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34155)

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

The vulnerability exists due to go/parser does not properly control consumption of internal resources. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34158)

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

The vulnerability exists due to go/build/constraint does not properly control consumption of internal resources when calling Parse on a "// +build" build tag line with deeply nested expressions. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-47384)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to NULL pointer dereference within the TEMP_TO_REG() and w83793_detect_subclients() functions in drivers/hwmon/w83793.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1252)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error within the Linux kernel’s Ext4 File System in how a user triggers several file operations simultaneously with the overlay FS usage. A local authenticated user can trigger a use-after-free error and escalate privileges on the system.


9) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52489)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition within the section_deactivate() function in mm/sparse.c. A local user can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.


10) Processor optimization removal or modification of security-critical code (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-2201)

The vulnerability allows a malicious guest to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to native branch history injection on x86 systems. A malicious guest can infer the contents of arbitrary host memory, including memory assigned to other guests and compromise the affected system.


11) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-3596)

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

The vulnerability exists due to use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm in RADIUS Protocol. A remote user can perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack and gain access to target system.


12) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26671)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to memory corruption within the blk_mq_mark_tag_wait() function in block/blk-mq.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


13) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26686)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper locking within the do_task_stat() function in fs/proc/array.c. A local user can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


14) Improper locking (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-26826)
