A flaw was found in multiple versions of Open vSwitch. Specially crafted LLDP packets can cause memory to be lost when allocating data to handle specific optional TLVs, potentially causing a denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

An out-of-bounds heap buffer access flaw was found in the way the iSCSI Block driver in QEMU handled a response coming from an iSCSI server while checking the status of a Logical Address Block (LBA) in an iscsicoblockstatus() routine. A remote user could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process, resulting in a denial of service or potential execution of arbitrary code with privileges of the QEMU process on the host.

A stack-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Redis hyperloglog data structure versions 3.x before 3.2.13, 4.x before 4.0.14 and 5.x before 5.0.4. By corrupting a hyperloglog using the SETRANGE command, an attacker could cause Redis to perform controlled increments of up to 12 bytes past the end of a stack-allocated buffer.

A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the Redis hyperloglog data structure versions 3.x before 3.2.13, 4.x before 4.0.14 and 5.x before 5.0.4. By carefully corrupting a hyperloglog using the SETRANGE command, an attacker could trick Redis interpretation of dense HLL encoding to write up to 3 bytes beyond the end of a heap-allocated buffer.

Withdrawn Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because the vulnerability only affects the Qpid Proton C library and not org.apache.qpid:proton-j. This link has been maintained to preserve external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

It was discovered that pyOpenSSL incorrectly handled memory when handling X509 objects. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause pyOpenSSL to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This attack appears to be exploitable via Depends on the calling application and if it retains a reference to the memory. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in 17.5.0.

An issue was discovered in Open vSwitch (OvS) 2.7.x through 2.7.6, affecting ofprotoruleinsert in ofproto/ofproto.c. During bundle commit, flows that are added in a bundle are applied to ofproto in order. If a flow cannot be added (e.g., the flow action is a go-to for a group id that does not exist), OvS tries to revert back all previous flows that were successfully applied from the same bundle. This is possible since OvS maintains list of old flows that were replaced by flows from the bundle. While reinserting old flows, OvS has an assertion failure due to a check on rule state != RULEINITIALIZED. This would work for new flows, but for an old flow the rule state is RULEREMOVED. The assertion failure causes an OvS crash.

A flaw was found in PostgreSQL. The chief PostgreSQL client library, libpq, does not adequately reset its internal state before each connection attempt. When one requests a connection using a "host" or "hostaddr" connection parameter provided by an untrusted party, that party can thwart three security-relevant features of the client. First, they can cause PQconnectionUsedPassword() to erroneously return true. Users of contrib module "dblink" or "postgresfdw" can leverage that to use server-side login credentials that they should not be able to use. Second, attackers can cause the PQescape() family of functions to malfunction, permitting SQL injection in "postgresfdw" and likely in other applications. Third, attackers can cause sslmode=prefer to not attempt SSL/TLS at all

A flaw was found in python-cryptography versions between >=1.9.0 and <2.3. The finalizewithtag API did not enforce a minimum tag length. If a user did not validate the input length prior to passing it to finalizewithtag an attacker could craft an invalid payload with a shortened tag (e.g. 1 byte) such that they would have a 1 in 256 chance of passing the MAC check. GCM tag forgeries can cause key leakage.

A flaw was found in Jolokia versions from 1.2 to before 1.6.1. Affected versions are vulnerable to a system-wide CSRF. This holds true for properly configured instances with strict checking for origin and referrer headers. This could result in a Remote Code Execution attack.

A flaw was found in ansible. ansible.cfg is read from the current working directory which can be altered to make it point to a plugin or a module path under the control of an attacker, thus allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code.

In ansible it was found that inventory variables are loaded from current working directory when running ad-hoc command which are under attacker's control, allowing to run arbitrary code as a result.

A heap buffer overflow issue was found in the way Slirp networking back-end in QEMU processes fragmented packets. It could occur while reassembling the fragmented datagrams of an incoming packet.

A privileged user/process inside guest could use this flaw to crash the QEMU process resulting in DoS OR potentially leverage it to execute arbitrary code on the host with privileges of the QEMU process.
