DSA-5665-1 tomcat10 – security update

Read Time:42 Second

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Tomcat
servlet and JSP engine.

CVE-2023-46589

Tomcat 10 did not correctly parse HTTP trailer headers. A trailer header
that exceeded the header size limit could cause Tomcat to treat a single
request as multiple requests leading to the possibility of request
smuggling when behind a reverse proxy.

CVE-2024-24549

Denial of Service due to improper input validation vulnerability for
HTTP/2. When processing an HTTP/2 request, if the request exceeded any of
the configured limits for headers, the associated HTTP/2 stream was not
reset until after all of the headers had been processed.

CVE-2024-23672

Denial of Service via incomplete cleanup vulnerability. It was possible
for WebSocket clients to keep WebSocket connections open leading to
increased resource consumption.

USN-6726-2: Linux kernel (IoT) vulnerabilities

Read Time:1 Minute, 25 Second

Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading
to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM
could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (host domain crash).
(CVE-2023-46838)

It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel did not
properly manage route cache memory usage. A remote attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2023-52340)

It was discovered that the device mapper driver in the Linux kernel did not
properly validate target size during certain memory allocations. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-52429, CVE-2024-23851)

Dan Carpenter discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel
did not store data in properly sized memory locations. A local user could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-0607)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
