libtpms vulnerabilities

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 22.10
  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Libtpms.

Software Description:

  • libtpms: TPM emulation library

Details:

Francisco Falcon discovered that Libtpms did not properly manage memory
when performing certain cryptographic operations. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-1017, CVE-2023-1018)

It was discovered that Libtpms did not properly manage memory when
handling certain commands. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.10:
libtpms0 0.9.3-0ubuntu1.22.10.1

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
libtpms0 0.9.3-0ubuntu1.22.04.1

After a standard system update you need to restart any application
using Libtpms libraries to make all the necessary changes.

CVE-2023-33953: Security Bulletins

gRPC contains a vulnerability that allows hpack table accounting errors could lead to unwanted disconnects between clients and servers in exceptional cases/ Three vectors were found that allow the following DOS attacks: - Unbounded memory buffering in the HPACK parser - Unbounded CPU consumption in the HPACK parser The unbounded CPU consumption is down to a copy that occurred per-input-block in the parser, and because that could be unbounded due to the memory copy bug we end up with an O(n^2) parsing loop, with n selected by the client. The unbounded memory buffering bugs: - The header size limit check was behind the string reading code, so we needed to first buffer up to a 4 gigabyte string before rejecting it as longer than 8 or 16kb. - HPACK varints have an encoding quirk whereby an infinite number of 0’s can be added at the start of an integer. gRPC’s hpack parser needed to read all of them before concluding a parse. - gRPC’s metadata overflow check was performed per frame, so ...

CVE-2023-32463: DSA-2023-200: Security Update for Dell VxRail for Multiple Third-Party Component Vulnerabilities

CVE-2023-23694: DSA-2023-071: Dell VxRail Security Update for Multiple Third-Party Component Vulnerabilities – 7.0.450

Dell VxRail versions earlier than 7.0.450, contain(s) an OS command injection vulnerability in VxRail Manager. A local authenticated attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the execution of arbitrary OS commands on the application's underlying OS, with the privileges of the vulnerable application. Exploitation may lead to a system take over by an attacker.
