Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation 4.18.25 security, enhancement & bug fix update

Important

A flaw was found in node-forge. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to bypass downstream cryptographic verifications and security decisions via crafting ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One) structures to desynchronize schema validations, yielding a semantic divergence.

CWE-179 - Incorrect Behavior Order: Early Validation

A flaw was found in Lodash. A prototype pollution vulnerability in the _.unset and _.omit functions allows an attacker able to control property paths to delete methods from global prototypes. By removing essential functionalities, this can result in a denial of service.

CWE-1321 - Improperly Controlled Modification of Object Prototype Attributes ('Prototype Pollution')

A flaw was found in qs, a module used for parsing query strings. A remote attacker can exploit an improper input validation vulnerability by sending specially crafted HTTP requests that use bracket notation (e.g., `a[]=value`). This bypasses the `arrayLimit` option, which is designed to limit the size of parsed arrays and prevent resource exhaustion. Successful exploitation can lead to memory exhaustion, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) where the application crashes or becomes unresponsive, making the service unavailable to users.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in database/sql. Concurrent queries can produce unexpected results when a query is cancelled during a Scan method call on returned Rows, creating a race condition. This vulnerability allows an attacker who can initiate and cancel queries to trigger this condition, possibly leading to inconsistent data being returned to the application.

CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

A flaw was found in the archive/tar package in the Go standard library. tar.Reader does not set a maximum size on the number of sparse region data blocks in GNU tar pax 1.0 sparse files. A specially crafted tar archive with a pax header indicating a big number of sparse regions can cause a Go program to try to allocate a large amount of memory, causing an out-of-memory condition and resulting in a denial of service.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in the net/url package in the Go standard library. The package does not enforce a limit on the number of unique query parameters it parses. A Go application using the net/http.Request.ParseForm method will try to process all parameters provided in the request. A specially crafted HTTP request containing a massive number of query parameters will cause the application to consume an excessive amount of memory, eventually causing the application to crash or become unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in golang. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted certificate during the error string construction process within the `HostnameError.Error()` function. This flaw, caused by unbounded string concatenation, leads to excessive resource consumption. Successful exploitation can result in a denial of service (DoS) for the affected system.

CWE-1050 - Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop

An ASN.1 Denial of Service (Dos) vulnerability exists in the node-forge asn1.fromDer function within forge/lib/asn1.js. The ASN.1 DER parser implementation (_fromDer) recurses for every constructed ASN.1 value (SEQUENCE, SET, etc.) and lacks a guard limiting recursion depth. An attacker can craft a small DER blob containing a very large nesting depth of constructed TLVs which causes the Node.js V8 engine to exhaust its call stack and throw RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded, crashing or incapacitating the process handling the parse. This is a remote, low-cost Denial-of-Service against applications that parse untrusted ASN.1 objects.

CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

An SSRF flaw has been discovered in Webpack. When experiments.buildHttp is enabled, webpack’s HTTP(S) resolver (HttpUriPlugin) enforces allowedUris only for the initial URL, but does not re-validate allowedUris after following HTTP 30x redirects. As a result, an import that appears restricted to a trusted allow-list can be redirected to HTTP(S) URLs outside the allow-list. This is a policy/allow-list bypass that enables build-time SSRF behavior (requests from the build machine to internal-only endpoints, depending on network access) and untrusted content inclusion in build outputs (redirected content is treated as module source and bundled).

CWE-918 - Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
