Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Input validation error
EUVDB-ID: #VU102099
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 6.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7646
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote user to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to in the default configuration some credential has access to all secrets in the cluster.. A remote user with permission to create Ingress objects (in the `networking.k8s.io` or `extensions` API group) can bypass annotation validation to inject arbitrary commands and obtain the credentials of the ingress-nginx controller.

2) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU96020
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7347
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ngx_http_mp4_module when reading mp4 files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the web server, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that the server is built with the ngx_http_mp4_module and the "mp4" directive is used in the configuration file.

3) Expired pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU96037
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39792
CWE-ID:
CWE-825 - Expired pointer dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of an expired pointer dereference within the ngx_stream_mqtt_filter_module module. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP requests to the web server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
