Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46751)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-46952)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error when handling untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-46951)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error when handling untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-46954)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error when handling untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and execute arbitrary code on the system.
5) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-46953)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when parsing the page format results in path truncation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-46956)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in filenameforall. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
