A flaw in the Linux Kernel found in the Linux kernel’s networking stack which permits attackers to force hash collisions in the IPv6 connection lookup table. This results in a significant increase in the cost of lookups, causing increased CPU utilization. This significant CPU usage increase in the Linux kernel subjected to a modified form of the classic IPv6 SYN-Flood. The actual impact of this issue may be a denial of service (due to heightened CPU usage) to hosts which can receive malicious IPv6 traffic.

A timing side-channel in the handling of RSA ClientKeyExchange messages was discovered in GnuTLS. This side-channel can be sufficient to recover the key encrypted in the RSA ciphertext across a network in a Bleichenbacher style attack. To achieve a successful decryption the attacker would need to send a large amount of specially crafted messages to the vulnerable server. By recovering the secret from the ClientKeyExchange message, the attacker would be able to decrypt the application data exchanged over that connection.

A flaw was found in the Tar package. When attempting to read files with old V7 tar format with a specially crafted checksum, an invalid memory read may occur. An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive information or cause a crash.

A vulnerability was discovered in Python. A quadratic algorithm exists when processing inputs to the IDNA (RFC 3490) decoder, such that a crafted unreasonably long name being presented to the decoder could lead to a CPU denial of service. Hostnames are often supplied by remote servers that could be controlled by a malicious actor, which could trigger excessive CPU consumption on the client attempting to make use of an attacker-supplied hostname.

systemd 250 and 251 allows local users to achieve a systemd-coredump deadlock by triggering a crash that has a long backtrace. This occurs in parseelfobject in shared/elf-util.c. The exploitation methodology is to crash a binary calling the same function recursively, and put it in a deeply nested directory to make its backtrace large enough to cause the deadlock. This must be done 16 times when MaxConnections=16 is set for the systemd/units/systemd-coredump.socket file.

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 vulnerability exists in curl <7.87.0 HSTS check that could be bypassed to trick it to keep using HTTP. Using its HSTS support, curl can be instructed to use HTTPS instead of using an insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in the URL. However, the HSTS mechanism could be bypassed if the host name in the given URL first uses IDN characters that get replaced to ASCII counterparts as part of the IDN conversion. Like using the character UTF-8 U+3002 (IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP) instead of the common ASCII full stop (U+002E) .. Then in a subsequent request, it does not detect the HSTS state and makes a clear text transfer. Because it would store the info IDN encoded but look for it IDN decoded.

A flaw was found in P2P-Device in wifi in ieee80211rxhdecrypt in net/mac80211/rx.c in the Linux kernel, leading to a denial of service.

A vulnerability was found in curl. The issue occurs if curl is told to use an HTTP proxy for a transfer with a non-HTTP(S) URL. It sets up the connection to the remote server by issuing a CONNECT request to the proxy and then tunnels the rest of the protocol through. An HTTP proxy might refuse this request (HTTP proxies often only allow outgoing connections to specific port numbers, like 443 for HTTPS) and instead return a non-200 response code to the client. Due to flaws in the error/cleanup handling, this could trigger a double-free issue in curl if using one of the following schemes in the URL for the transfer: dict, gopher, gophers, ldap, ldaps, rtmp, rtmps, telnet.

A vulnerability was found in curl. The issue occurs because curl's HSTS check can be bypassed to trick it to keep using HTTP. Using its HSTS support, it can instruct curl to use HTTPS directly instead of using an insecure clear-text HTTP step even when HTTP is provided in the URL. This mechanism can be bypassed if the hostname in the given URL uses IDN characters that get replaced with ASCII counterparts as part of the IDN conversion. Like using the character UTF-8 U+3002 (IDEOGRAPHIC FULL STOP) instead of the common ASCII full stop (U+002E) ..

A use-after-free in the mac80211 stack when parsing a multi-BSSID element in the Linux kernel 5.2 through 5.19.x before 5.19.16 could be used by attackers (able to inject WLAN frames) to crash the kernel and potentially execute code.

A use-after-free flaw was found in bssrefget in the net/wireless/scan.c in the Linux kernel. This issue can lead to a denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

A list corruption flaw was found in cfg80211addnontranslist in the net/wireless/scan.c function in the Linux kernel. This flaw could lead to a denial of service.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the u8 overflow in cfg80211updatenotlistednontrans() in net/wireless/scan.c in the Linux kernel’s wifi subcomponent. This flaw allows an attacker to crash the system or leak internal kernel information.

A flaw in XML parsing could have led to a use-after-free causing a potentially exploitable crash.In official releases of Firefox this vulnerability is mitigated by wasm sandboxing; versions managed by Linux distributions may have other settings.

drivers/scsi/stex.c in the Linux kernel through 5.19.9 allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory because stexqueuecommandlck lacks a memset for the PASSTHRUCMD case.

Fixed bug : buffer overflow in hashupdate() on long parameter. (CVE-2022-37454)

A security vulnerability was found in zlib. The flaw triggered a heap-based buffer in inflate in the inflate.c function via a large gzip header extra field. This flaw is only applicable in the call inflateGetHeader.

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's Netfilter subsystem in net/netfilter/nftablesapi.c. This flaw allows a local attacker with user access to cause a privilege escalation issue.

A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because the number of acceptable "links" in the "decompression chain" was unbounded, allowing a malicious server to insert a virtually unlimited number of compression steps. This flaw leads to a denial of service, either by mistake or by a malicious actor.

A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because when curl saves cookies, alt-svc, and HSTS data to local files, it makes the operation atomic by finalizing the process with a rename from a temporary name to the final target file name. This flaw leads to unpreserved file permissions, either by mistake or by a malicious actor.

A vulnerability was found in curl. This issue occurs because it mishandles message verification failures when curl does FTP transfers secured by krb5. This flaw makes it possible for a Man-in-the-middle attack to go unnoticed and allows data injection into the client.

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 malicious server can serve excessive amounts of Set-Cookie: headers in a HTTP response to curl and curl < 7.84.0 stores all of them. A sufficiently large amount of (big) cookies make subsequent HTTP requests to this, or other servers to which the cookies match, create requests that become larger than the threshold that curl uses internally to avoid sending crazy large requests (1048576 bytes) and instead returns an error.This denial state might remain for as long as the same cookies are kept, match and haven't expired. Due to cookie matching rules, a server on foo.example.com can set cookies that also would match for bar.example.com, making it it possible for a "sister server" to effectively cause a denial of service for a sibling site on the same second level domain using this method.

libiberty/rust-demangle.c in GNU GCC 11.2 allows stack consumption in demangleconst, as demonstrated by nm-new.

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 integer overflow was found in expat. The issue occurs in storeRawNames() by abusing the mbuffer expansion logic to allow allocations very close to INTMAX and out-of-bounds heap writes. This flaw can cause a denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution.

An integer overflow flaw was found in expat. This issue affects the encoding name parameter at the parser creation time, which is often hard-coded (rather than user input), takes a value in the gigabytes to trigger, and on a 64-bit machine. This flaw can cause a denial of service.

A flaw was found in expat. A stack exhaustion in doctype parsing could be triggered by a file with a large number of opening braces, resulting in a denial of service.

A flaw was found in expat. Passing malformed 2- and 3-byte UTF-8 sequences (for example, from start tag names) to the XML processing application on top of expat can lead to arbitrary code execution. This issue is dependent on how invalid UTF-8 is handled inside the XML processor.
