Summary
Cedar-Java has policy injection, type confusion, and incorrect equality comparison vulnerabilities
Details

Summary

CedarJava is an open source Java implementation of the Cedar policy language, used for fine-grained authorization decisions. Under certain circumstances, it could lead to incorrect equality comparisons.

Impact

EntityIdentifier.equals() has inverted null/self branches

The EntityIdentifier.equals() method has inverted logic for null and self-reference checks, returning true for null comparisons and false for self-comparisons. This does not affect Cedar authorization decisions (computed in Rust from JSON), but could affect integrators who perform their own equality checks on entity identifiers.

Impacted versions:

< 4.9

Patches

It has been addressed in CedarJava version 4.9 and above. We recommend upgrading to the latest version and ensuring any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes.

Workarounds

Avoid relying on EntityIdentifier.equals() for security-sensitive comparisons until upgraded to version 4.9.

References

If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, Cedar asks that you contact us directly via email to cedar-policy-security@lists.cncf.io. Please do not create a public GitHub issue.

Details

IrfanView DXF File Parsing Type Confusion Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of IrfanView. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of DXF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22184.
