CVE-2024-34063 – Degraded secret zeroization capabilities in vodozemac
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-34063
vodozemac is an implementation of Olm and Megolm in pure Rust. Versions 0.5.0 and 0.5.1 of vodozemac have degraded secret zeroization capabilities, due to changes in third-party cryptographic dependencies (the Dalek crates), which moved secret zeroization capabilities behind a feature flag and defaulted this feature to off. The degraded zeroization capabilities could result in the production of more memory copies of encryption secrets and secrets could linger in memory longer than necessary. This marginally increases the risk of sensitive data exposure. This issue has been addressed in version 0.6.0 and users are advised to upgrade. • https://github.com/matrix-org/vodozemac/commit/297548cad4016ce448c4b5007c54db7ee39489d9 https://github.com/matrix-org/vodozemac/security/advisories/GHSA-c3hm-hxwf-g5c6 • CWE-1188: Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default •
CVE-2024-32000 – Truncated content of messages can be leaked from matrix-appservice-irc
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-32000
matrix-appservice-irc is a Node.js IRC bridge for the Matrix messaging protocol. matrix-appservice-irc before version 2.0.0 can be exploited to leak the truncated body of a message if a malicious user sends a Matrix reply to an event ID they don't have access to. As a precondition to the attack, the malicious user needs to know the event ID of the message they want to leak, as well as to be joined to both the Matrix room and the IRC channel it is bridged to. The message reply containing the leaked message content is visible to IRC channel members when this happens. matrix-appservice-irc 2.0.0 checks whether the user has permission to view an event before constructing a reply. Administrators should upgrade to this version. It's possible to limit the amount of information leaked by setting a reply template that doesn't contain the original message. • https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/blob/d5d67d1d3ea3f0f6962a0af2cc57b56af3ad2129/config.sample.yaml#L601-L604 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/pull/1799 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/security/advisories/GHSA-wm4w-7h2q-3pf7 • CWE-280: Improper Handling of Insufficient Permissions or Privileges CWE-755: Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions •
CVE-2023-43796 – Synapse vulnerable to leak of remote user device information
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-43796
Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver Prior to versions 1.95.1 and 1.96.0rc1, cached device information of remote users can be queried from Synapse. This can be used to enumerate the remote users known to a homeserver. System administrators are encouraged to upgrade to Synapse 1.95.1 or 1.96.0rc1 to receive a patch. As a workaround, the `federation_domain_whitelist` can be used to limit federation traffic with a homeserver. Synapse es un servidor doméstico Matrix de código abierto. • https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/commit/daec55e1fe120c564240c5386e77941372bf458f https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-mp92-3jfm-3575 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/2IDEEZMFJBDLTFHQUTZRJJNCOZGQ2ZVS https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/VH3RNC5ZPQZ4OKPSL4E6BBJSZOQLGDEY https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202401-12 • CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor •
CVE-2023-45129 – matrix-synapse vulnerable to denial of service due to malicious server ACL events
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-45129
Synapse is an open-source Matrix homeserver written and maintained by the Matrix.org Foundation. Prior to version 1.94.0, a malicious server ACL event can impact performance temporarily or permanently leading to a persistent denial of service. Homeservers running on a closed federation (which presumably do not need to use server ACLs) are not affected. Server administrators are advised to upgrade to Synapse 1.94.0 or later. As a workaround, rooms with malicious server ACL events can be purged and blocked using the admin API. • https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/16360 https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/security/advisories/GHSA-5chr-wjw5-3gq4 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/KEVRB4MG5UXQ5RLZHSUJXM5GWEBYYS5B https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/N6P4QULVUE254WI7XF2LWWOGHCYVFXFY https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/WRO4MPQ6HOXIUZM6RJP6VTCTMV7RD2T3 https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest • CWE-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling •
CVE-2023-43656 – Sandbox escape for instances that have enabled transformation functions in matrix-hookshot
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2023-43656
matrix-hookshot is a Matrix bot for connecting to external services like GitHub, GitLab, JIRA, and more. Instances that have enabled transformation functions (those that have `generic.allowJsTransformationFunctions` in their config), may be vulnerable to an attack where it is possible to break out of the `vm2` sandbox and as a result Hookshot will be vulnerable to this. This problem is only likely to affect users who have allowed untrusted users to apply their own transformation functions. If you have only enabled a limited set of trusted users, this threat is reduced (though not eliminated). Version 4.5.0 and above of hookshot include a new sandbox library which should better protect users. • https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot/commit/dc126afa6af86d66aefcd23a825326f405bcc894 https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-hookshot/security/advisories/GHSA-fr97-pv6w-4cj6 • CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') •
