The versions of Oracle Database Server installed on the remote host are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 2023 CPU advisory.

  - Vulnerability in the Oracle Spatial and Graph (cURL) component of Oracle Database Server. Supported     versions that are affected are 19.3-19.20 and 21.3-21.11. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows low     privileged attacker having Authenticated User privilege with network access via HTTP to compromise Oracle     Spatial and Graph (cURL). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized ability to     cause a hang or frequently repeatable crash (complete DOS) of Oracle Spatial and Graph (cURL).
    (CVE-2023-38039)

  - Vulnerability in the OML4Py (cryptography) component of Oracle Database Server. Supported versions that     are affected are 21.3-21.11. Difficult to exploit vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with     network access via HTTP to compromise OML4Py (cryptography). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can     result in unauthorized creation, deletion or modification access to critical data or all     OML4Py (cryptography) accessible data. (CVE-2022-23491)

  - Vulnerability in the PL/SQL component of Oracle Database Server. Supported versions that are affected are     19.3-19.20 and 21.3-21.11. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker having Create     Session, Execute on sys.utl_http privilege with network access via Oracle Net to compromise PL/SQL.
    Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the     vulnerability is in PL/SQL, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change).
    Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized update, insert or delete access to     some of PL/SQL accessible data as well as unauthorized read access to a subset of PL/SQL accessible data     and unauthorized ability to cause a partial denial of service (partial DOS) of PL/SQL.

    Brief introduction

    CVE-2022-40897

        setuptools before 65.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial         of service via HTML in a crafted package or custom PackageIndex         page. There is a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)         inpackage_index.py.

    CVE-2024-6345

        A vulnerability in the package_index module allows for remote code         execution via its download functions. These functions, which are         used to download packages from URLs provided by users or retrieved         from package index servers, are susceptible to code injection. If         these functions are exposed to user-controlled inputs, such as         package URLs, they can execute arbitrary commands on the system.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     52.0.0-4+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your setuptools packages.

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-7.0 advisory.

  - squashfs_opendir in unsquash-2.c in Squashfs-Tools 4.5 allows Directory Traversal, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2021-40153. A squashfs filesystem that has been crafted to include a symbolic link     and then contents under the same filename in a filesystem can cause unsquashfs to first create the     symbolic link pointing outside the expected directory, and then the subsequent write operation will cause     the unsquashfs process to write through the symbolic link elsewhere in the filesystem. (CVE-2021-41072)

  - An issue was discovered in libexpat before 2.6.3. nextScaffoldPart in xmlparse.c can have an integer     overflow for m_groupSize on 32-bit platforms (where UINT_MAX equals SIZE_MAX). (CVE-2024-45492)

  - A vulnerability was found in libndp. This flaw allows a local malicious user to cause a buffer overflow in     NetworkManager, triggered by sending a malformed IPv6 router advertisement packet. This issue occurred as     libndp was not correctly validating the route length information. (CVE-2024-5564)

  - Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) setuptools before 65.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service via HTML in a crafted package or custom PackageIndex page. There is a Regular Expression Denial of     Service (ReDoS) in package_index.py. (CVE-2022-40897)

  - cryptography is a package designed to expose cryptographic primitives and recipes to Python developers. In     affected versions `Cipher.update_into` would accept Python objects which implement the buffer protocol,     but provide only immutable buffers. This would allow immutable objects (such as `bytes`) to be mutated,     thus violating fundamental rules of Python and resulting in corrupted output. This now correctly raises an     exception. This issue has been present since `update_into` was originally introduced in cryptography 1.8.
    (CVE-2023-23931)
