Withdrawn Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because the vulnerability only affects the Qpid Proton C library and not org.apache.qpid:proton-j. This link has been maintained to preserve external references.

Original Description

While investigating bug PROTON-2014, we discovered that under some circumstances Apache Qpid Proton versions 0.9 to 0.27.0 (C library and its language bindings) can connect to a peer anonymously using TLS even when configured to verify the peer certificate while used with OpenSSL versions before 1.1.0. This means that an undetected man in the middle attack could be constructed if an attacker can arrange to intercept TLS traffic.

APR. Multiple issues in Perl were addressed with improved memory handling.

apache. Multiple issues were addressed by updating to version 2.4.27.

Artifex Ghostscript allows -dSAFER bypass and remote command execution via .rsdparams type confusion with a "/OutputFile.

Apache HTTP Server, in all releases prior to 2.2.32 and 2.4.25, was liberal in the whitespace accepted from requests and sent in response lines and headers. Accepting these different behaviors represented a security concern when httpd participates in any chain of proxies or interacts with back-end application servers, either through modproxy or using conventional CGI mechanisms, and may result in request smuggling, response splitting and cache pollution.

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in jasper in jpctsfbgetbands2 function in jpctsfb.c triggered by parsing of a malicious file.

apache. Multiple issues existed in Apache. These were addressed by updating Apache to version 2.4.25.

The VNC websocket frame decoder in QEMU allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a large (1) websocket payload or (2) HTTP headers section.

Moxilla Firefox allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy to read arbitrary files or gain privileges.

It was discovered that libtasn1 library function asn1getbitder() could incorrectly report negative bit length of the value read from ASN.1 input. This could possibly lead to an out of bounds access in an application using libtasn1, for example in case if application tried to terminate read value with NUL byte.

The following upstream commit corrects the issue and causes the function to report error rather than return negative length value: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtasn1.git/commit/?id=1c3ccb3e040bf13e342ee60bc23b21b97b11923f
