CVE-2022-44749: Security Advisories | KNIME

A directory traversal vulnerability in the ZIP archive extraction routines of KNIME Analytics Platform 3.2.0 and above can result in arbitrary files being overwritten on the user's system. This vulnerability is also known as 'Zip-Slip'. An attacker can create a KNIME workflow that, when being opened by a user, can overwrite arbitrary files that the user has write access to. It's not necessary to execute the workflow, opening the workflow is sufficient. The user will notice that something is wrong because an error is being reported but only after the files have already been written. This can impact data integrity (file contents are changed) or cause errors in other software (vital files being corrupted). It can even lead to remote code execution if executable files are being replaced and subsequently executed by the user. In all cases the attacker has to know the location of files on the user's system, though.

GHSA-562r-vg33-8x8h: TemporaryFolder on unix-like systems does not limit access to created files

**Vulnerability** `PreparedStatement.setText(int, InputStream)` and `PreparedStatemet.setBytea(int, InputStream)` will create a temporary file if the InputStream is larger than 2k Example of vulnerable code: ``` String s = new String("some very large string greater than 2048 bytes) PreparedStatement.setText(1, s); ``` This will create a temporary file which is readable by other users on Unix like systems, but not MacOS. Impact On Unix like systems, the system's temporary directory is shared between all users on that system. Because of this, when files and directories are written into this directory they are, by default, readable by other users on that same system. This vulnerability does not allow other users to overwrite the contents of these directories or files. This is purely an information disclosure vulnerability. When analyzing the impact of this vulnerability, here are the important questions to ask: Is the driver running in an environment where the OS has other unt...

CVE-2022-41946: Merge pull request from GHSA-562r-vg33-8x8h · pgjdbc/pgjdbc@9008dc9

pgjdbc is an open source postgresql JDBC Driver. In affected versions a prepared statement using either `PreparedStatement.setText(int, InputStream)` or `PreparedStatemet.setBytea(int, InputStream)` will create a temporary file if the InputStream is larger than 2k. This will create a temporary file which is readable by other users on Unix like systems, but not MacOS. On Unix like systems, the system's temporary directory is shared between all users on that system. Because of this, when files and directories are written into this directory they are, by default, readable by other users on that same system. This vulnerability does not allow other users to overwrite the contents of these directories or files. This is purely an information disclosure vulnerability. Because certain JDK file system APIs were only added in JDK 1.7, this this fix is dependent upon the version of the JDK you are using. Java 1.7 and higher users: this vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.0. Java 1.6 and lower users: no ...
