CA certificate check bypass with X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT

The X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT flag enables additional security checks of the certificates present in a certificate chain. It is not set by default. Starting from OpenSSL version 1.1.1h a check to disallow certificates in the chain that have explicitly encoded elliptic curve parameters was added as an additional strict check. An error in the implementation of this check meant that the result of a previous check to confirm that certificates in the chain are valid CA certificates was overwritten. This effectively bypasses the check that non-CA certificates must not be able to issue other certificates. If a "purpose" has been configured then there is a subsequent opportunity for checks that the certificate is a valid CA. All of the named "purpose" values implemented in libcrypto perform this check. Therefore, where a purpose is set the certificate chain will still be rejected even when the strict flag has been used. A purpose is set by default in libssl client and server certificate verification routines, but it can be overridden or removed by an application. In order to be affected, an application must explicitly set the X509_V_FLAG_X509_STRICT verification flag and either not set a purpose for the certificate verification or, in the case of TLS client or server applications, override the default purpose. OpenSSL versions 1.1.1h and newer are affected by this issue. Users of these versions should upgrade to OpenSSL 1.1.1k. OpenSSL 1.0.2 is not impacted by this issue. Fixed in OpenSSL 1.1.1k (Affected 1.1.1h-1.1.1j).

SonicWall Email Security version 10.0.9.x contains a vulnerability that allows a post-authenticated attacker to read an arbitrary file on the remote host.

SonicWall Email Security version 10.0.9.x contains a vulnerability that allows a post-authenticated attacker to upload an arbitrary file to the remote host.

Apache Log4j2 does not always protect from infinite recursion in lookup evaluation

Apache Log4j2 versions 2.0-alpha1 through 2.16.0 (excluding 2.12.3 and 2.3.1) did not protect from uncontrolled recursion from self-referential lookups. This allows an attacker with control over Thread Context Map data to cause a denial of service when a crafted string is interpreted. This issue was fixed in Log4j 2.17.0, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1.

Improper Code Injection in SonicWall Email Security Appliance Enables Root Command Execution

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') Vulnerability in the SonicWall Email Security appliance allows an authenticated attacker with access to the SonicWall Email Security restricted CLI can inject arbitrary OS commands that execute as root via netmask.

Authenticated OS Command Injection via Restricted CLI in SonicWall Email Security

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') Vulnerability in the SonicWall Email Security appliance allows an authenticated attacker with access to the SonicWall Email Security restricted CLI can inject arbitrary OS commands that execute as root via SNMP.

Apache Log4j2 JNDI features do not protect against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints

Apache Log4j2 2.0-beta9 through 2.15.0 (excluding security releases 2.12.2, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1) JNDI features used in configuration, log messages, and parameters do not protect against attacker controlled LDAP and other JNDI related endpoints. An attacker who can control log messages or log message parameters can execute arbitrary code loaded from LDAP servers when message lookup substitution is enabled. From log4j 2.15.0, this behavior has been disabled by default. From version 2.16.0 (along with 2.12.2, 2.12.3, and 2.3.1), this functionality has been completely removed. Note that this vulnerability is specific to log4j-core and does not affect log4net, log4cxx, or other Apache Logging Services projects.

hw: cpu: speculative store bypass

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and speculative execution of memory reads before the addresses of all prior memory writes are known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), Variant 4.

An improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory (Path Traversal) vulnerability in SonicWall Email Security Appliance could allow a remote attacker with administrative privileges to conduct a directory traversal attack and delete arbitrary files from the appliance file system.

A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the SonicWall Email Security appliance due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation, allowing a remote authenticated attacker as admin user to potentially execute arbitrary JavaScript code.

A denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in the SonicWall Email Security appliance, allowing a remote authenticated attacker as admin user to cause the application to become unresponsive.

Improper Input Sanitization in SonicWall Email Security Enables Data Corruption

A vulnerability exists in the SonicWall Email Security appliance due to improper input sanitization that may lead to data corruption, allowing a remote authenticated attacker as admin user could exploit this issue by providing crafted input that corrupts application database.

Download of Code Without Integrity Check Vulnerability in the SonicWall Email Security appliance loads root filesystem images without verifying signatures, allowing attackers with VMDK or datastore access to modify system files and gain persistent arbitrary code execution.

A Path Traversal vulnerability has been identified in the Email Security appliance allows an attacker to manipulate file system paths by injecting crafted directory-traversal sequences (such as ../) and may access files and directories outside the intended restricted path.

A vulnerability in the SonicWall Email Security version 10.0.9.x allows an attacker to create an administrative account by sending a crafted HTTP request to the remote host.

Apache Log4j2 Thread Context Message Pattern and Context Lookup Pattern vulnerable to a denial of service attack

It was found that the fix to address CVE-2021-44228 in Apache Log4j 2.15.0 was incomplete in certain non-default configurations. This could allows attackers with control over Thread Context Map (MDC) input data when the logging configuration uses a non-default Pattern Layout with either a Context Lookup (for example, $${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map pattern (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) to craft malicious input data using a JNDI Lookup pattern resulting in an information leak and remote code execution in some environments and local code execution in all environments. Log4j 2.16.0 (Java 8) and 2.12.2 (Java 7) fix this issue by removing support for message lookup patterns and disabling JNDI functionality by default.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Dell SonicWALL Email Security 7.4.5 and earlier allow remote authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the uploadPatch parameter to the System/Advanced page (settings_advanced.html) or (2) the uploadLicenses parameter in the License management (settings_upload_dlicense.html) page.

SonicWall Email Security contains a vulnerability that could permit a remote unauthenticated attacker access to an error page that includes sensitive information about users email addresses.

SonicWall Email Security Virtual Appliance version 10.0.9 and earlier versions contain a default username and a password that is used at initial setup. An attacker could exploit this transitional/temporary user account from the trusted domain to access the Virtual Appliance remotely only when the device is freshly installed and not connected to Mysonicwall.
