Red Hat Security Advisory: container-tools:rhel8 security update

Important

A flaw was found in Go JOSE, a library for handling JSON Web Encryption (JWE) objects. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted JWE object. When decrypting such an object, if a key wrapping algorithm is specified but the encrypted key field is empty, the application can crash. This leads to a denial of service (DoS), making the affected service unavailable to legitimate users.

CWE-131 - Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. The RSA and DSA public key parsers in the affected component did not enforce size limits on key parameters. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated client to provide a crafted public key with an excessively large modulus or DSA parameter during public key authentication. Successful exploitation could lead to a denial of service (DoS) due to prolonged CPU consumption during signature verification.

CWE-1284 - Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. A remote malicious SSH peer can exploit this by sending unsolicited global request responses, which fills an internal buffer and blocks the connection's read loop. This prevents the associated resources from being released, leading to a resource leak per connection. The consequence is a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.

CWE-772 - Missing Release of Resource after Effective Lifetime
