Vulnerability Details

CVEID:   CVE-2024-24786
DESCRIPTION:   Protocol Buffers protobuf-go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an infinite loop flaw in the rotojson.Unmarshal function when unmarshaling certain forms of invalid JSON.

CVEID:   CVE-2023-33850
DESCRIPTION:   IBM GSKit-Crypto could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. By sending an overly large number of trial messages for decryption, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information. IBM X-Force ID: 257132.
CVSS Base score: 7.5

CVEID:   CVE-2024-1394
DESCRIPTION:   Golang golang-fips/openssl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by memory leaks in code encrypting and decrypting rsa payloads. By using specially crafted public RSA keys which are not compliant with SP 800-56B, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to exhaust all available resources.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/286318 for the current score.

CVEID:   CVE-2023-28322
DESCRIPTION:   cURL libcurl could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in the logic for a reused handle when it is (expected to be) changed from a PUT to a POST.. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause application to misbehave and either send off the wrong data or use memory after free or similar in the second transfer.
CVSS Base score: 3.7

CVEID:   CVE-2023-38546
DESCRIPTION:   cURL libcurl could allow a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions, caused by a flaw in the curl_easy_duphandle function if a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to insert cookies at will into a running program.
CVSS Base score: 3.7
