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.

The version of shim / shim-unsigned-x64 installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-40546 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.

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)

    IMPORTANT: The new shim revokes ALL VERSIONS of GRUB2 before grub2-2.02-0.87.el7_9.14. Therefore GRUB2     MUST be updated to the latest     version: grub2-2.02-0.87.el7_9.14 BEFORE or SIMULTANEOUSLY with this shim in order for Secure Boot to     continue to work.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:1834 advisory.

    The shim package contains a first-stage UEFI boot loader that handles chaining to a trusted full boot     loader under secure boot environments.

    Security Fix(es):

    * shim: RCE in http boot support may lead to Secure Boot bypass (CVE-2023-40547)

    * shim: Interger overflow leads to heap buffer overflow in verify_sbat_section on 32-bits systems     (CVE-2023-40548)

    * shim: Out-of-bounds read printing error messages (CVE-2023-40546)

    * shim: Out-of-bounds read in verify_buffer_authenticode() malformed PE file (CVE-2023-40549)

    * shim: Out-of-bound read in verify_buffer_sbat() (CVE-2023-40550)

    * shim: out of bounds read when parsing MZ binaries (CVE-2023-40551)

According to the versions of the shim package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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)

  - Issue summary: Generating excessively long X9.42 DH keys or checking excessively long X9.42 DH keys or     parameters may be very slow. Impact summary: Applications that use the functions DH_generate_key() to     generate an X9.42 DH key may experience long delays. Likewise, applications that use DH_check_pub_key(),     DH_check_pub_key_ex() or EVP_PKEY_public_check() to check an X9.42 DH key or X9.42 DH parameters may     experience long delays. Where the key or parameters that are being checked have been obtained from an     untrusted source this may lead to a Denial of Service. While DH_check() performs all the necessary checks     (as of CVE-2023-3817), DH_check_pub_key() doesn't make any of these checks, and is therefore vulnerable     for excessively large P and Q parameters. Likewise, while DH_generate_key() performs a check for an     excessively large P, it doesn't check for an excessively large Q. An application that calls     DH_generate_key() or DH_check_pub_key() and supplies a key or parameters obtained from an untrusted source     could be vulnerable to a Denial of Service attack. DH_generate_key() and DH_check_pub_key() are also     called by a number of other OpenSSL functions. An application calling any of those other functions may     similarly be affected. The other functions affected by this are DH_check_pub_key_ex(),     EVP_PKEY_public_check(), and EVP_PKEY_generate(). Also vulnerable are the OpenSSL pkey command line     application when using the '-pubcheck' option, as well as the OpenSSL genpkey command line application.
    The OpenSSL SSL/TLS implementation is not affected by this issue. The OpenSSL 3.0 and 3.1 FIPS providers     are not affected by this issue. (CVE-2023-5678)
