Issue summary: An application trying to decrypt CMS messages encrypted using password based encryption can trigger an out-of-bounds read and write.

Impact summary: This out-of-bounds read may trigger a crash which leads to Denial of Service for an application. The out-of-bounds write can cause a memory corruption which can have various consequences including a Denial of Service or Execution of attacker-supplied code.

Although the consequences of a successful exploit of this vulnerability could be severe, the probability that the attacker would be able to perform it is low. Besides, password based (PWRI) encryption support in CMS messages is very rarely used. For that reason the issue was assessed as Moderate severity according to our Security Policy.

The FIPS modules in 3.5, 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue, as the CMS implementation is outside the OpenSSL FIPS module boundary.

Issue summary: A timing side-channel which could potentially allow recovering the private key exists in the ECDSA signature computation.

Impact summary: A timing side-channel in ECDSA signature computations could allow recovering the private key by an attacker. However, measuring the timing would require either local access to the signing application or a very fast network connection with low latency.

There is a timing signal of around 300 nanoseconds when the top word of the inverted ECDSA nonce value is zero. This can happen with significant probability only for some of the supported elliptic curves. In particular the NIST P-521 curve is affected. To be able to measure this leak, the attacker process must either be located in the same physical computer or must have a very fast network connection with low latency. For that reason the severity of this vulnerability is Low.

The FIPS modules in 3.4, 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are affected by this issue.

A use after free can have a range of potential consequences such as the corruption of valid data, crashes or execution of arbitrary code. However, only applications that directly call the SSLfreebuffers function are affected by this issue. Applications that do not call this function are not vulnerable. Our investigations indicate that this function is rarely used by applications.

The SSLfreebuffers function is used to free the internal OpenSSL buffer used when processing an incoming record from the network. The call is only expected to succeed if the buffer is not currently in use. However, two scenarios have been identified where the buffer is freed even when still in use.

The first scenario occurs where a record header has been received from the network and processed by OpenSSL, but the full record body has not yet arrived. In this case calling SSLfreebuffers will succeed even though a record has only been partially processed and the buffer is still in use.

The second scenario occurs where a full record containing application data has been received and processed by OpenSSL but the application has only read part of this data. Again a call to SSLfreebuffers will succeed even though the buffer is still in use.

While these scenarios could occur accidentally during normal operation a malicious attacker could attempt to engineer a stituation where this occurs. We are not aware of this issue being actively exploited.

The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 is also not affected by this issue.

OpenSSL 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0 and 1.1.1 are vulnerable to this issue.

OpenSSL 3.3 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.3.1 once it is released.

OpenSSL 3.2 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.2.2 once it is released.

OpenSSL 3.1 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.1.6 once it is released.

OpenSSL 3.0 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 3.0.14 once it is released.

OpenSSL 1.1.1 users should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1y once it is released (premium support customers only).

Due to the low severity of this issue we are not issuing new releases of OpenSSL at this time. The fix will be included in the next releases when they become available. The fix is also available in commit e5093133c3 (for 3.3), commit c88c3de510 (for 3.2), commit 704f725b96 (for 3.1) and commit b3f0eb0a29 (for 3.0) in the OpenSSL git repository. It is available to premium support customers in commit f7a045f314 (for 1.1.1).

This issue was reported on 10th April 2024 by William Ahern (Akamai). The fix was developed by Matt Caswell and Watson Ladd (Akamai).

Issue summary: Use of the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes.

Impact summary: Out of bound memory writes can lead to an application crash or even a possibility of a remote code execution, however, in all the protocols involving Elliptic Curve Cryptography that we're aware of, either only "named curves" are supported, or, if explicit curve parameters are supported, they specify an X9.62 encoding of binary (GF(2^m)) curves that can't represent problematic input values. Thus the likelihood of existence of a vulnerable application is low.

In particular, the X9.62 encoding is used for ECC keys in X.509 certificates, so problematic inputs cannot occur in the context of processing X.509 certificates. Any problematic use-cases would have to be using an "exotic" curve encoding.

The affected APIs include: ECGROUPnewcurveGF2m(), ECGROUPnewfromparams(), and various supporting BNGF2m() functions.

Applications working with "exotic" explicit binary (GF(2^m)) curve parameters, that make it possible to represent invalid field polynomials with a zero constant term, via the above or similar APIs, may terminate abruptly as a result of reading or writing outside of array bounds. Remote code execution cannot easily be ruled out.

The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.

A flaw was found in the libtiff library. A remote attacker could exploit a signed integer overflow vulnerability in the putcontig8bitYCbCr44tile function by providing a specially crafted TIFF file. This flaw can lead to an out-of-bounds heap write due to incorrect memory pointer calculations, potentially causing a denial of service (application crash) or arbitrary code execution.

Redis DoS Vulnerability due to unlimited growth of output buffers abused by unauthenticated client

A flaw was found in codec-haproxy from the Netty project. This flaw allows an attacker to build a malformed crafted message and cause infinite recursion, causing stack exhaustion and leading to a denial of service (DoS).

Stack overflow in PJSUA API when calling pjsuaplayercreate. An attacker-controlled 'filename' argument may cause a buffer overflow since it is copied to a fixed-size stack buffer without any size validation.

OpenEXR 3.1.x before 3.1.4 has a heap-based buffer overflow in Imf31::LineCompositeTask::execute (called from IlmThread31::NullThreadPoolProvider::addTask and IlmThread31::ThreadPool::addGlobalTask). NOTE: db217f2 may be inapplicable.

Last updated 24 March 2025

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

tls: separate no-async decryption request handling from async

If we're not doing async, the handling is much simpler. There's no reference counting, we just need to wait for the completion to wake us up and return its result.

We should preferably also use a separate cryptowait. I'm not seeing a UAF as I did in the past, I think aec7961916f3 ("tls: fix race between async notify and socket close") took care of it.

This will make the next fix easier.

GNU Emacs through 28.2 allows attackers to execute commands via shell metacharacters in the name of a source-code file, because lib-src/etags.c uses the system C library function in its implementation of the ctags program. For example, a victim may use the "ctags " command (suggested in the ctags documentation) in a situation where the current working directory has contents that depend on untrusted input.

A flaw in the Linux Kernel found. For the netfilter, nftablesnewrule when adding a rule with NFTARULECHAINID can lead to use-after-free.

Impact I found "multipart/form-data request tampering vulnerability" caused by Content-Disposition "filename" lack of escaping in httparty.

httparty/lib/httparty/request > body.rb > def generatemultipart

https://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty/blob/4416141d37fd71bdba4f37589ec265f55aa446ce/lib/httparty/request/body.rb#L43

By exploiting this problem, the following attacks are possible

An attack that rewrites the "name" field according to the crafted file name, impersonating (overwriting) another field. Attacks that rewrite the filename extension at the time multipart/form-data is generated by tampering with the filename

For example, this vulnerability can be exploited to generate the following Content-Disposition.

Normal Request example: normal input filename: abc.txt generated normal header in multipart/form-data Content-Disposition: form-data; name="avatar"; filename="abc.txt" Malicious Request example malicious input filename: overwritenamefieldandextension.sh"; name="foo"; dummy=".txt generated malicious header in multipart/form-data: Content-Disposition: form-data; name="avatar"; filename="overwritenamefieldandextension.sh"; name="foo"; dummy=".txt"

The Abused Header has multiple name ( avatar & foo ) fields and the "filename" has been rewritten from .txt to .sh .

These problems can result in successful or unsuccessful attacks, depending on the behavior of the parser receiving the request. I have confirmed that the attack succeeds, at least in the following frameworks

Spring (Java) Ktor (Kotlin) Ruby on Rails (Ruby)

The cause of this problem is the lack of escaping of the " (Double-Quote) character in Content-Disposition > filename.

WhatWG's HTML spec has an escaping requirement.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#multipart-form-data

For field names and filenames for file fields, the result of the encoding in the previous bullet point must be escaped by replacing any 0x0A (LF) bytes with the byte sequence %0A, 0x0D (CR) with %0D and 0x22 (") with %22. The user agent must not perform any other escapes.

Patches

As noted at the beginning of this section, encoding must be done as described in the HTML Spec.

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#multipart-form-data

For field names and filenames for file fields, the result of the encoding in the previous bullet point must be escaped by replacing any 0x0A (LF) bytes with the byte sequence %0A, 0x0D (CR) with %0D and 0x22 (") with %22. The user agent must not perform any other escapes.

Therefore, it is recommended that Content-Disposition be modified by either of the following

Before: Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="malicious.sh";dummy=.txt

After: Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="%22malicious.sh%22;dummy=.txt"

https://github.com/jnunemaker/httparty/blob/4416141d37fd71bdba4f37589ec265f55aa446ce/lib/httparty/request/body.rb#L43

filename.gsub('"', '%22')

Also, as for \r, \n, URL Encode is not done, but it is not newlines, so it seemed to be OK. However, since there may be omissions, it is safer to URL encode these as well, if possible. ( \r to %0A and \d to %0D )

PoC

PoC Environment

OS: macOS Monterey(12.3) Ruby ver: ruby 3.1.2p20 httparty ver: 0.20.0 (Python3 - HTTP Request Logging Server)

PoC procedure

(Linux or MacOS is required. This is because Windows does not allow file names containing " (double-quote) .)

1. Create Project $ mkdir my-app $ cd my-app $ gem install httparty

2. Create malicious file

$ touch 'overwritenamefieldandextension.sh"; name="foo"; dummy=".txt'

3. Generate Vuln code

$ vi example.rb

require 'httparty'

filename = 'overwritenamefieldandextension.sh"; name="foo"; dummy=".txt'

HTTParty.post('http://localhost:12345/', body: { name: 'Foo Bar', email: 'example@email.com', avatar: File.open(filename) } )

4. Run Logging Server

I write Python code, but any method will work as long as you can see the HTTP Request Body. (e.g. Debugger, HTTP Logging Server, Packet Capture)

$ vi logging.py from http.server import HTTPServer from http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler

class LoggingServer(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):

def doPOST(self): self.sendresponse(200) self.endheaders() self.wfile.write("ok".encode("utf-8"))

contentlength = int(self.headers['Content-Length']) postdata = self.rfile.read(contentlength) print("POST request,\nPath: %s\nHeaders:\n%s\n\nBody:\n%s\n", str(self.path), str(self.headers), postdata.decode('utf-8')) self.wfile.write("POST request for {}".format(self.path).encode('utf-8'))

ip = '127.0.0.1' port = 12345

server = HTTPServer((ip, port), LoggingServer) server.serveforever()

$ python logging.py

5. Run & Logging server

$ run example.rb

Return Request Header & Body:

User-Agent: Ruby Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=------------------------F857UcxRc2J1zFOz Connection: close Host: localhost:12345 Content-Length: 457 --------------------------F857UcxRc2J1zFOz Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name" Foo Bar --------------------------F857UcxRc2J1zFOz Content-Disposition: form-data; name="email" example@email.com --------------------------F857UcxRc2J1zFOz Content-Disposition: form-data; name="avatar"; filename="overwritenamefieldandextension.sh"; name="foo"; dummy=".txt" Content-Type: text/plain abc --------------------------F857UcxRc2J1zFOz--

Content-Disposition: Content-Disposition: form-data; name="avatar"; filename="overwritenamefieldandextension.sh"; name="foo"; dummy=".txt"

name fields is duplicate (avator & foo) filename & extension tampering ( .txt --> .sh )

An integer overflow in the processing of loaded 2D images leads to a write-what-where vulnerability and an out-of-bounds read vulnerability, allowing an attacker to leak sensitive information or achieve code execution in the context of the Blender process when a specially crafted image file is loaded. This flaw affects Blender versions prior to 2.83.19, 2.93.8 and 3.1.

A missing bounds check in the image loader used in Blender 3.x and 2.93.8 leads to out-of-bounds heap access, allowing an attacker to cause denial of service, memory corruption or potentially code execution.

Issue summary: Some non-default TLS server configurations can cause unbounded memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions

A flaw was found in xorg-server. Querying or changing XKB button actions such as moving from a touchpad to a mouse can result in out-of-bounds memory reads and writes. This may allow local privilege escalation or possible remote code execution in cases where X11 forwarding is involved.

A flaw was found in xorg-server. A specially crafted request to RRChangeProviderProperty or RRChangeOutputProperty can trigger an integer overflow which may lead to a disclosure of sensitive information.

A flaw was found in the exFAT driver of the Linux kernel. The vulnerability exists in the implementation of the file name reconstruction function, which is responsible for reading file name entries from a directory index and merging file name parts belonging to one file into a single long file name. Since the file name characters are copied into a stack variable, a local privileged attacker could use this flaw to overflow the kernel stack.

A flaw in the Linux Kernel found. Improper element removal in function nftpipaporemove when insert an element without a NFTSETEXTKEYEND that can lead to use-after-free.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the siano smsusb module in the Linux kernel. The bug occurs during device initialization when the siano device is plugged in. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system, causing a denial of service condition.

A buffer overflow was discovered in the GNU C Library's dynamic loader ld.so while processing the GLIBCTUNABLES environment variable. This issue could allow a local attacker to use maliciously crafted GLIBCTUNABLES environment variables when launching binaries with SUID permission to execute code with elevated privileges.

A flaw found in the Linux Kernel. The tun/tap sockets have their socket UID hardcoded to 0 due to a type confusion in their initialization function. While it will be often correct, as tuntap devices require CAPNETADMIN, it may not always be the case, e.g., a non-root user only having that capability. This would make tun/tap sockets being incorrectly treated in filtering/routing decisions, possibly bypassing network filters. The original fix for the CVE-2023-1076 was incorrect. The problem is that the following upstream commits (that were fix for the CVE-2023-1076) - a096ccca6e50 ("tun: tunchropen(): correctly initialize socket uid"), - 66b2c338adce ("tap: tapopen(): correctly initialize socket uid"), pass "inode->iuid" to sockinitdatauid() as the last parameter and that turns out to be entirely bogus.

A segment fault (SEGV) flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to the TIFFReadRGBATileExt() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a heap-buffer overflow, leading to a denial of service.

An infinite loop vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets sent by the client, the core unmarshalling function slunpackloop() did not validate a field in the network packet that contains the count of elements in an array-like structure. By passing 0 as the count value, the attacked function will run in an endless loop consuming 100% CPU. This flaw allows an attacker to issue a malformed RPC request, triggering an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service condition.

A path disclosure vulnerability was found in Samba. As part of the Spotlight protocol, Samba discloses the server-side absolute path of shares, files, and directories in the results for search queries. This flaw allows a malicious client or an attacker with a targeted RPC request to view the information that is part of the disclosed path.

A Type Confusion vulnerability was found in Samba's mdssvc RPC service for Spotlight. When parsing Spotlight mdssvc RPC packets, one encoded data structure is a key-value style dictionary where the keys are character strings, and the values can be any of the supported types in the mdssvc protocol. Due to a lack of type checking in callers of the dallocvalueforkey() function, which returns the object associated with a key, a caller may trigger a crash in tallocgetsize() when talloc detects that the passed-in pointer is not a valid talloc pointer. With an RPC worker process shared among multiple client connections, a malicious client or attacker can trigger a process crash in a shared RPC mdssvc worker process, affecting all other clients this worker serves.

A flaw was found in Python, specifically in the FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client library in PASV (passive) mode. The issue is how the FTP client trusts the host from the PASV response by default. This flaw allows an attacker to set up a malicious FTP server that can trick FTP clients into connecting back to a given IP address and port. This vulnerability could lead to FTP client scanning ports, which otherwise would not have been possible.

adtsdecodeextradata in libavformat/adtsenc.c in FFmpeg 4.4 does not check the initgetbits return value, which is a necessary step because the second argument to initgetbits can be crafted.
