This Tech Tip outlines how enterprise defenders can mitigate the risks of the curl and libcurl vulnerabilities in their environments.

tsMuxer version git-2539d07 was discovered to contain an alloc-dealloc-mismatch (operator new [] vs operator delete) error.

An integer underflow vulnerability exists in the vpnserver OvsProcessData functionality of SoftEther VPN 5.01.9674 and 5.02. A specially crafted network packet can lead to denial of service. An attacker can send a malicious packet to trigger this vulnerability.

A denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the vpnserver EnSafeHttpHeaderValueStr functionality of SoftEther VPN 5.01.9674 and 5.02. A specially crafted network packet can lead to denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6425-2 - USN-6425-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Samba. Due to a build issue on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the update introduced regressions in macro handling and possibly other functionality. This update fixes the problem. Sri Nagasubramanian discovered that the Samba acl_xattr VFS module incorrectly handled read-only files. When Samba is configured to ignore system ACLs, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to truncate read-only files. Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the DirSync control. A remote attacker with an RODC DC account could possibly use this issue to obtain all domain secrets. Andrew Bartlett discovered that Samba incorrectly handled the rpcecho development server. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Samba to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service. Kirin van der Veer discovered that Samba incorrectly handled certain RPC service listeners. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause ...

Ubuntu Security Notice 6429-2 - USN-6429-1 fixed a vulnerability in curl. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled cookies when an application duplicated certain handles. A local attacker could possibly create a cookie file and inject arbitrary cookies into subsequent connections.

An issue in GPAC GPAC v.2.2.1 and before allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service via the Q_DecCoordOnUnitSphere function of file src/bifs/unquantize.c.

It was discovered that the IP-VLAN network driver for the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations, leading to an out-of- bounds write vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the virtual terminal driver in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). Various other issues were also addressed.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6429-1 - Jay Satiro discovered that curl incorrectly handled hostnames when using a SOCKS5 proxy. In environments where curl is configured to use a SOCKS5 proxy, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04. It was discovered that curl incorrectly handled cookies when an application duplicated certain handles. A local attacker could possibly create a cookie file and inject arbitrary cookies into subsequent connections.

Ubuntu Security Notice 6428-1 - It was discovered that LibTIFF could be made to read out of bounds when processing certain malformed image files with the tiffcrop utility. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause tiffcrop to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
