Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-1962
**DESCRIPTION:*Golang Go is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a stack exhaustion flaw in all Parse functions. By sending a specially-crafted request, a local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a panic, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 6.2
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/232543 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-2068
**DESCRIPTION:**OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the c_rehash script. By sending a specially-crafted request using shell metacharacters, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226018 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)

CVEID:CVE-2022-1586
**DESCRIPTION:**PCRE2 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an out-of-bounds read in the compile_xclass_matchingpath() function in the pcre2_jit_compile.c file. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/226863 for the current score.

CVEID:CVE-2022-2097
**DESCRIPTION:**OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by improper encryption of data by the AES OCB mode for 32-bit x86 platforms using the AES-NI assembly optimised implementation. By sending a specially-crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/230425 for the current score.

CVEID:CVE-2022-1292
**DESCRIPTION:**OpenSSL could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the system, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the c_rehash script. By sending a specially-crafted request using shell metacharacters, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the script on the system.
