Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23806)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to unchecked return value within the Curve.IsOnCurve() function in crypto/elliptic. A remote attacker can force the application to incorrectly return true in situations with a big.Int value that is not a valid field element. As a result, an attacker can modify application flow, which can lead to unauthorized data modification or denial of service.
2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29526)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to the Faccessat function can incorrectly report that a file is accessible, when called with a non-zero flags parameter. An attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions.
3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30634)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in crypto/rand on Windows when handling buffer larger than 1 << 32 - 1 bytes. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
4) Use of insufficiently random values (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30629)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists in crypto/tls implementation when generating TLS tickets age. The newSessionTicketMsgTLS13.ageAdd is always set to "0" instead of a random value.
5) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30580)
The vulnerability allows a local user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in Cmd.Start in os/exec allows execution of any binaries in the working directory named either "..com" or "..exe" by calling Cmd.Run, Cmd.Start, Cmd.Output, or Cmd.CombinedOutput when Cmd.Path is unset. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29804)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the filepath.Clean function on Windows, which can convert certain invalid paths to valid, absolute paths, potentially allowing a directory traversal attack. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform directory traversal attacks.
7) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23773)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists within cmd/go, which can misinterpret branch names that falsely appear to be version tags. This can lead to a situation where an attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and perform restricted actions, e.g. create tags when access was granted to create branches only.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-23772)
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 within the Rat.SetString(0 function in math/big. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27536)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to certificate.Verify in crypto/x509 in Go can be caused to panic on macOS when presented with certain malformed certificates. A remote unauthenticated attacker can use a TLS server to cause a TLS client to panic.
10) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24675)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists in the Golang's library encoding/pem. A remote attacker can send to victim a large (more than 5 MB) PEM input to cause a stack overflow in Decode and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
11) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-28327)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the Golang's library crypto/elliptic. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted scalar input longer than 32 bytes to cause P256().ScalarMult or P256().ScalarBaseMult to panic and perform a denial of service attack.
12) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24921)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in regexp.Compile in Go. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) attack.
