AES OCB fails to encrypt some bytes

HTTP/2 Rapid reset attack The HTTP/2 protocol allows clients to indicate to the server that a previous stream should be canceled by sending a RSTSTREAM frame. The protocol does not require the client and server to coordinate the cancellation in any way, the client may do it unilaterally. The client may also assume that the cancellation will take effect immediately when the server receives the RSTSTREAM frame, before any other data from that TCP connection is processed.

Abuse of this feature is called a Rapid Reset attack because it relies on the ability for an endpoint to send a RSTSTREAM frame immediately after sending a request frame, which makes the other endpoint start working and then rapidly resets the request. The request is canceled, but leaves the HTTP/2 connection open.

The HTTP/2 Rapid Reset attack built on this capability is simple: The client opens a large number of streams at once as in the standard HTTP/2 attack, but rather than waiting for a response to each request stream from the server or proxy, the client cancels each request immediately.

The ability to reset streams immediately allows each connection to have an indefinite number of requests in flight. By explicitly canceling the requests, the attacker never exceeds the limit on the number of concurrent open streams. The number of in-flight requests is no longer dependent on the round-trip time (RTT), but only on the available network bandwidth.

In a typical HTTP/2 server implementation, the server will still have to do significant amounts of work for canceled requests, such as allocating new stream data structures, parsing the query and doing header decompression, and mapping the URL to a resource. For reverse proxy implementations, the request may be proxied to the backend server before the RSTSTREAM frame is processed. The client on the other hand paid almost no costs for sending the requests. This creates an exploitable cost asymmetry between the server and the client.

Multiple software artifacts implementing HTTP/2 are affected. This advisory was originally ingested from the swift-nio-http2 repo advisory and their original conent follows.

swift-nio-http2 specific advisory swift-nio-http2 is vulnerable to a denial-of-service vulnerability in which a malicious client can create and then reset a large number of HTTP/2 streams in a short period of time. This causes swift-nio-http2 to commit to a large amount of expensive work which it then throws away, including creating entirely new Channels to serve the traffic. This can easily overwhelm an EventLoop and prevent it from making forward progress.

swift-nio-http2 1.28 contains a remediation for this issue that applies reset counter using a sliding window. This constrains the number of stream resets that may occur in a given window of time. Clients violating this limit will have their connections torn down. This allows clients to continue to cancel streams for legitimate reasons, while constraining malicious actors.

A flaw was found in OpenSSL. The issue in CVE-2022-1292 did not find other places in the crehash script where it possibly passed the file names of certificates being hashed to a command executed through the shell. Some operating systems distribute this script in a manner where it is automatically executed. On these operating systems, this flaw allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script.

A flaw was found in node-fetch. When following a redirect to a third-party domain, node-fetch was forwarding sensitive headers such as "Authorization," "WWW-Authenticate," and "Cookie" to potentially untrusted targets. This flaw leads to the exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor.

lodash versions prior to 4.17.21 are vulnerable to Command Injection via the template function.

A flaw was found in nodejs-lodash. A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) via the toNumber, trim and trimEnd functions is possible.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 6). The affected application does not properly sanitize path input in the GET /api/sftp/uploadFiles endpoint used for directory listing. This allows path traversal through crafted input, enabling access to unintended file system locations.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 6). The affected application uses a password hashing implementation with a static, hardcoded salt shared across all users and installations, and is configured with an insufficient number of iterations. This could allow an attacker to efficiently recover user passwords using brute-force or precomputed attacks, potentially resulting in unauthorized access.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 6). The affected system includes a binary that is configured with the capdacoverride capability. This capability allows the process to bypass file system permission checks, resulting in unrestricted file system access. This could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges leading to arbitrary file modification and gaining root privileges on the system.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 6). The application does not properly sanitize user input in the /api/sftp/uploadFiles endpoint, allowing the injection of shell command payloads via crafted directory names. These payloads are stored and executed when directory listings are retrieved. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with the privileges of the affected service user (sinecins).

A Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability was found in the nodejs axios. This flaw allows an attacker to provide crafted input to the trim function, which might cause high resources consumption and as a consequence lead to denial of service. The highest threat from this vulnerability is system availability.

A flaw was found in openssl. OpenSSL 1.0.2 supports SSLv2. If a client attempts to negotiate SSLv2 with a server that is configured to support both SSLv2 and more recent SSL and TLS versions then a check is made for a version rollback attack when unpadding an RSA signature. However since there is no support for the SSLv2 protocol in 1.1.1 this is considered a bug and not a security issue in that version. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is out of support and no longer receiving public updates. Premium support customers of OpenSSL 1.0.2 should upgrade to 1.0.2y. Other users should upgrade to 1.1.1j. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.0.2y (Affected 1.0.2s-1.0.2x).

A flaw was found in follow-redirects when fetching a remote URL with a cookie when it gets to the Location response header. This flaw allows an attacker to hijack the account as the cookie is leaked.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 2). The radius configuration mechanism of affected products does not correctly check uploaded certificates. A malicious admin could upload a crafted certificate resulting in a denial-of-service condition or potentially issue commands on system level.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 2). The Web UI of affected devices does not check the length of parameters in certain conditions. This allows a malicious admin to crash the server by sending a crafted request to the server. The server will automatically restart.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 2). The REST API of affected devices does not check the length of parameters in certain conditions. This allows a malicious admin to crash the server by sending a crafted request to the API. The server will automatically restart.

A vulnerability was found in NodeJS due to the llhttp parser in the HTTP module incorrectly handling multi-line Transfer-Encoding headers. This issue can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS). This flaw allows a remote attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers, causing web cache poisoning, and conducting XSS attacks.

A vulnerability was found in NodeJS due to improper validation of HTTP requests. The llhttp parser in the http module does not correctly parse and validate Transfer-Encoding headers. This issue can lead to HTTP Request Smuggling (HRS), causing web cache poisoning, and conducting XSS attacks.

A cache poisoning vulnerability was found in BIND when using forwarders. Bogus NS records supplied by the forwarders may be cached and used by name if it needs to recurse for any reason. This issue causes it to obtain and pass on potentially incorrect answers. This flaw allows a remote high privileged attacker to manipulate cache results with incorrect records, leading to queries made to the wrong servers, possibly resulting in false information received on the client's end.

A flaw was found in Bind that incorrectly handles certain crafted TCP streams. The vulnerability allows TCP connection slots to be consumed for an indefinite time frame via a specifically crafted TCP stream sent from a client. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send specially crafted TCP streams with 'keep-response-order' enabled that could cause connections to BIND to remain in CLOSEWAIT status for an indefinite period, even after the client has terminated the connection. This issue results in BIND consuming resources, leading to a denial of service.

json-c could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an integer overflow and out-of-bounds write. By persuading a victim to run a specially crafted file, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.

A OS Command Injection vulnerability exists in Node.js versions <14.20.0, <16.20.0, <18.5.0 due to an insufficient IsAllowedHost check that can easily be bypassed because IsIPAddress does not properly check if an IP address is invalid before making DBS requests allowing rebinding attacks.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 3). The affected application does not properly restrict the size of generated log files. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger a large amount of logged events to exhaust the system's resources and create a denial of service condition.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 3). The affected application does not properly validate authorization of a user to query the "/api/sftp/users" endpoint. This could allow an authenticated remote attacker to gain knowledge about the list of configured users of the SFTP service and also modify that configuration.

curl. Multiple issues were addressed by updating to curl version 7.79.1.

A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC INS (All versions < V1.0 SP2 Update 1). An authenticated remote attacker with access to the Web Based Management (443/tcp) of the affected product, could potentially read and write arbitrary files from and to the device's file system. An attacker might leverage this to trigger remote code execution on the affected component.

A vulnerability was found in NodeJS due to improper validation of HTTP requests. The llhttp parser in the HTTP module in Node.js does not correctly handle header fields that are not terminated with CLRF. This issue may result in HTTP Request Smuggling. This flaw allows a remote attacker to send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

A cryptographic vulnerability exists on Node.js on linux in versions of 18.x prior to 18.40.0 which allowed a default path for openssl.cnf that might be accessible under some circumstances to a non-admin user instead of /etc/ssl as was the case in versions prior to the upgrade to OpenSSL 3.

A vulnerability was found in NodeJS due to weak randomness in the WebCrypto keygen within the SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen() in src/crypto/cryptokeygen.cc. Node.js made calls to EntropySource() in SecretKeyGenTraits::DoKeyGen(). However, it does not check the return value and assumes the EntropySource() always succeeds, but it can and sometimes will fail. This flaw allows a remote attacker to decrypt sensitive information.
