The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3813 advisory.
A flaw was found in Shim when an error happened while creating a new ESL variable. If Shim fails to create the new variable, it tries to print an error message to the user; however, the number of parameters used by the logging function doesn’t match the format string used by it, leading to a crash under certain circumstances. (CVE-2023-40546)
A remote code execution vulnerability was found in Shim. The Shim boot support trusts attacker-controlled values when parsing an HTTP response. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a specific malicious HTTP request, leading to a completely controlled out-of-bounds write primitive and complete system compromise.
This flaw is only exploitable during the early boot phase, an attacker needs to perform a Man-in-the- Middle or compromise the boot server to be able to exploit this vulnerability successfully.
(CVE-2023-40547)
A buffer overflow was found in Shim in the 32-bit system. The overflow happens due to an addition operation involving a user-controlled value parsed from the PE binary being used by Shim. This value is further used for memory allocation operations, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. This flaw causes memory corruption and can lead to a crash or data integrity issues during the boot phase. (CVE-2023-40548)
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in Shim due to the lack of proper boundary verification during the load of a PE binary. This flaw allows an attacker to load a crafted PE binary, triggering the issue and crashing Shim, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-40549)
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in Shim when it tried to validate the SBAT information. This issue may expose sensitive data during the system’s boot phase. (CVE-2023-40550)
A flaw was found in the MZ binary format in Shim. An out-of-bounds read may occur, leading to a crash or possible exposure of sensitive data during the system’s boot phase. (CVE-2023-40551)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
