CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-23916
DESCRIPTION:   cURL libcurl is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a flaw in the decompression chain implementation. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause memory errors, and results in a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247437 for the current score.

CVEID:   CVE-2022-40897
DESCRIPTION:   Pypa Setuptools is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper input validation. By sending request with a specially crafted regular expression, an remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/243028 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:   CVE-2023-0361
DESCRIPTION:   GnuTLS could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing side-channel flaw in the handling of RSA ClientKeyExchange messages. By recovering the secret from the ClientKeyExchange message, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to decrypt the application data exchanged over that connection, and use this information to launch further attacks against the affected system.
CVSS Base score: 5.9
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/247680 for the current score.

CVEID:   CVE-2017-14166
DESCRIPTION:   libarchive is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a xml_data heap-based buffer over-read issue in the atol8 function in archive_read_support_format_xar.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base score: 5.5

CVEID:   CVE-2022-4304
DESCRIPTION:   OpenSSL could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. By sending an overly large number of trial messages for decryption, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.
CVSS Base score: 7.5
