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.

In libxml2 2.11 before 2.11.9, 2.12 before 2.12.9, and 2.13 before 2.13.3, the SAX parser can produce events for external entities even if custom SAX handlers try to override entity content (by setting "checked"). This makes classic XXE attacks possible.

An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.4. There is a crash within the XMLResumeParser function because XMLStopParser can stop/suspend an unstarted parser.

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

NFSD: Fix nfsd4encodefattr4() crasher

Ensure that args.acl is initialized early. It is used in an unconditional call to kfree() on the way out of nfsd4encodefattr4().

glibc is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a memory corruption by the Name Service Cache Daemon's (nscd) netgroup cache when the NSS callback fails to store all strings in the provided buffer. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to corrupt memory and cause a denial of service.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in drivers/nvme/target/tcp.c in nvmettcpfreecrypto due to a logical bug in the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, a malicious user can cause a UAF and a double free, which may lead to RCE (may also lead to an LPE in case the attacker already has local privileges).

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.8. fs/smb/server/connection.c in ksmbd does not validate the relationship between the NetBIOS header's length field and the SMB header sizes, via pdusize in ksmbdconnhandlerloop, leading to an out-of-bounds read.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.4. fs/ksmbd/smb2pdu.c in ksmbd does not properly check the UserName value because it does not consider the address of security buffer, leading to an out-of-bounds read.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel before 6.3.4. ksmbd has an out-of-bounds read in smb2findcontextvals when createcontext's namelen is larger than the tag length.

The specific flaw exists within the DPT I2O Controller driver. The issue results from the lack of proper locking when performing operations on an object. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Expat package, caused by destruction of a shared DTD in XMLExternalEntityParserCreate in out-of-memory situations. This may lead to availability disruptions.

A Linux Kernel flaw found in the net/netfilter/nfnetlinkqueue.c. If local user creates netfilter rule that truncates the packet below the header size, the skbpull() will result in a malformed skb (skb->len < 0). As result, denial of service could happen after incorrect check in nfqnlmangle function.

Fixes: 7af4cc3fa158 ("[NETFILTER]: Add "nfnetlinkqueue" netfilter queue handler over nfnetlink")

A use of incorrectly resolved name vulnerability fixed in 7.83.1 might remove the wrong file when --no-clobber is used together with --remove-on-error.

The curl URL parser wrongly accepts percent-encoded URL separators like '/'when decoding the host name part of a URL making it a different URL usingthe wrong host name when it is later retrieved.For example a URL like http://example.com%2F127.0.0.1/ would be allowed bythe parser and get transposed into http://example.com/127.0.0.1/. This flawcan be used to circumvent filters checks and more.

Using its HSTS support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS directly insteadof using an insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in theURL. This mechanism could be bypassed if the host name in the given URL used atrailing dot while not using one when it built the HSTS cache. Or the otherway around - by having the trailing dot in the HSTS cache and not using thetrailing dot in the URL.

libcurl wrongly allows cookies to be set for Top Level Domains (TLDs) if thehost name is provided with a trailing dot.curl can be told to receive and send cookies. curl's "cookie engine" can bebuilt with or without Public Suffix Listawareness. If PSL support not provided a more rudimentary check exists to atleast prevent cookies from being set on TLDs. This check was broken if thehost name in the URL uses a trailing dot.This can allow arbitrary sites to set cookies that then would get sent to adifferent and unrelated site or domain.

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. The PTRACESEIZE code path allows attackers to bypass intended restrictions on setting the PTSUSPENDSECCOMP flag, possibly disabling seccomp.

A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs due to an erroneous function. A malicious server could make curl within Network Security Services (NSS) get stuck in a never-ending busy loop when trying to retrieve that information. This flaw allows an Infinite Loop, affecting system availability.

A flaw was found in the libxml2 library in functions used to manipulate the xmlBuf and the xmlBuffer types. A substantial input causes values to calculate buffer sizes to overflow, resulting in an out-of-bounds write.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. The crehash script does not properly sanitize shell meta-characters to prevent command injection. Some operating systems distribute this script in a manner where it is automatically executed. This flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script on these operating systems.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL's Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) response functionality in the signer certificate verification routines. This flaw could result in a linked application falsely believing that an x.509 Digital Certificate is either "good" or "unknown" when revoked and requires that the application use a non-default configuration. This vulnerability leads to an issue with data integrity and confidentiality.

A memory leak flaw was found in OpenSSL, resulting in TLS servers and clients being halted by out-of-memory conditions, leading to a denial of service. An attacker needs to repeat actions continuously to trigger this vulnerability, resulting in a loss of application availability.

An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.17.5. iorwinitfile in fs/iouring.c lacks initialization of kiocb->private.

A insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in fixed in curl 7.83.0 might leak authentication or cookie header data on HTTP redirects to the same host but another port number.

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in curl 7.65.0 to 7.82.0 are vulnerable that by using an IPv6 address that was in the connection pool but with a different zone id it could reuse a connection instead.
