High [CVE-2024-1132] path transversal in redirection validation

A flaw was found in Keycloak, where it does not properly validate URLs included in a redirect. This issue could allow an attacker to construct a malicious request to bypass validation and access other URLs and sensitive information within the domain or conduct further attacks. This flaw affects any client that utilizes a wildcard in the Valid Redirect URIs field, and requires user interaction within the malicious URL. Red Hat Build of Quarkus is not impacted as this CVE affects the server-side Keycloak execution, but Quarkus only acts as a Keycloak client in its quarkus-keycloak-authorization extension. For this reason, Quarkus is marked as having a Low impact. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 8.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N). Weakness: CWE-22.

Medium [CVE-2024-1481] Freeipa: specially crafted http requests potentially lead to denial of service

A flaw was found in FreeIPA. This issue may allow a remote attacker to craft a HTTP request with parameters that can be interpreted as command arguments to kinit on the FreeIPA server, which can lead to a denial of service. This vulnerability poses a moderate severity risk due to its potential for a denial of service (DoS) attack and limited exploitation scope. While it allows for influencing the arguments passed to the kinit command, thereby potentially disrupting authentication processes and causing service interruptions, it does not grant unauthorized access to sensitive resources or compromise the integrity of the system. The restricted access rights of the 'ipaapi' user limit the impact to denial of service scenarios, mitigating the risk of unauthorized authentication or access to other accounts via keytab files or cached credentials. Furthermore, the vulnerability does not enable the extraction of sensitive information or the execution of arbitrary commands beyond the context of the kinit command. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L). Weakness: CWE-20. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

High [CVE-2024-1233] Eap: wildfly-elytron has a ssrf security issue

A flaw was found in` JwtValidator.resolvePublicKey` in JBoss EAP, where the validator checks jku and sends a HTTP request. During this process, no whitelisting or other filtering behavior is performed on the destination URL address, which may result in a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability. The SSRF vulnerability in JwtValidator.resolvePublicKey is considered a moderate severity issue due to its potential to allow unauthorized internal network access and exposure of sensitive information, albeit with certain constraints. The vulnerability leverages the absence of URL whitelisting or filtering when resolving the jku header, which can be exploited to make HTTP requests to arbitrary URLs. While the immediate impact might not directly compromise sensitive data or system integrity, it opens a pathway for attackers to discover and interact with internal services, potentially leading to further exploitation. The exploitation complexity and the need for an attacker to craft a malicious JWT token mitigate the severity to a moderate level, as it requires a certain degree of knowledge and capability to execute effectively. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L). Weakness: CWE-918.

Medium [CVE-2024-0406] Mholt/archiver: path traversal vulnerability

A flaw was discovered in the mholt/archiver package. This flaw allows an attacker to create a specially crafted tar file, which, when unpacked, may allow access to restricted files or directories. This issue can allow the creation or overwriting of files with the user's or application's privileges using the library. This is a path traversal vulnerability in v3 of mhol/archiver and has been marked as moderate for a variety of reasons. First and foremost the attacker in order to exploit this vulnerability would require local files system/code execution level access, this cannot be exploited on a network level, secondly, the successful exploitation of this vulnerability only result in overwriting of files, not denial of service due to resource exhaustion and no code execution, keeping all these things in mind redhat has assigned this as moderate impact. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N). Weakness: CWE-22. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.18; Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security 3. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security 3.

High [CVE-2024-31083] Xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in procrenderaddglyphs

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the ProcRenderAddGlyphs() function of Xorg servers. This issue occurs when AllocateGlyph() is called to store new glyphs sent by the client to the X server, potentially resulting in multiple entries pointing to the same non-refcounted glyphs. Consequently, ProcRenderAddGlyphs() may free a glyph, leading to a use-after-free scenario when the same glyph pointer is subsequently accessed. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system by sending a specially crafted request. Xorg server does not run with root privileges in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9, therefore, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 have been rated with a Moderate severity. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-416.

High [CVE-2024-31081] Xorg-x11-server: heap buffer overread/data leakage in procxipassivegrabdevice

A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcXIPassiveGrabDevice() function. This issue occurs when byte-swapped length values are used in replies, potentially leading to memory leakage and segmentation faults, particularly when triggered by a client with a different endianness. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to cause the X server to read heap memory values and then transmit them back to the client until encountering an unmapped page, resulting in a crash. Despite the attacker's inability to control the specific memory copied into the replies, the small length values typically stored in a 32-bit integer can result in significant attempted out-of-bounds reads. Xorg server does not run with root privileges in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9, therefore, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9 have been rated with a Moderate severity. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:H). Weakness: CWE-126.

High [CVE-2024-2700] leak of local configuration properties into quarkus applications

A vulnerability was found in the quarkus-core component. Quarkus captures local environment variables from the Quarkus namespace during the application's build, therefore, running the resulting application inherits the values captured at build time. Some local environment variables may have been set by the developer or CI environment for testing purposes, such as dropping the database during application startup or trusting all TLS certificates to accept self-signed certificates. If these properties are configured using environment variables or the.env facility, they are captured into the built application, which can lead to dangerous behavior if the application does not override these values. This behavior only happens for configuration properties from the `quarkus.*` namespace. Red Hat rates this as a Moderate impact vulnerability since this requires an attacker to have direct access to the environment variables to override, and the application must use that environment variable to be jeopardized. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 7 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-526. Affected products named by the advisory: HawtIO 4.0.0 for Red Hat build of Apache Camel 4; Red Hat AMQ Streams 2.7.0; Red Hat build of Apicurio Registry 2.6.1 GA; Red Hat build of Quarkus 3.2.12.Final; and 8 more.

High [CVE-2024-1394] Golang-fips/openssl: memory leaks in code encrypting and decrypting rsa payloads

A memory leak flaw was found in Golang in the RSA encrypting/decrypting code, which might lead to a resource exhaustion vulnerability using attacker-controlled inputs​. The memory leak happens in github.com/golang-fips/openssl/openssl/rsa.go#L113. The objects leaked are pkey​ and ctx​. That function uses named return parameters to free pkey​ and ctx​ if there is an error initializing the context or setting the different properties. All return statements related to error cases follow the "return nil, nil, fail(...)" pattern, meaning that pkey​ and ctx​ will be nil inside the deferred function that should free them. The majority of RHEL utilities are not long-running applications; instead, they are command-line tools. These tools utilize Golang package as build-time dependency, which is why they are classified as having a "Moderate" level of impact. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.5 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-401.

Medium [CVE-2024-28834] Gnutls: vulnerable to minerva side-channel information leak

A flaw was found in GnuTLS. The Minerva attack is a cryptographic vulnerability that exploits deterministic behavior in systems like GnuTLS, leading to side-channel leaks. In specific scenarios, such as when using the GNUTLS_PRIVKEY_FLAG_REPRODUCIBLE flag, it can result in a noticeable step in nonce size from 513 to 512 bits, exposing a potential timing side-channel. The Minerva attack vulnerability in GnuTLS, as identified through deterministic code behavior, poses a moderate severity risk due to its potential exploitation in cryptographic systems. This vulnerability enables adversaries to infer information about the cryptographic operations by observing subtle variations in nonce sizes, leading to a side-channel attack. The deterministic nature of the code allows attackers to discern patterns in the nonce generation process, thereby compromising the confidentiality and integrity of cryptographic communications. While the impact of this vulnerability may not be immediate or widespread, its exploitation could facilitate targeted attacks against systems relying on GnuTLS for secure communication. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). Weakness: CWE-327.
