Description

Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform provides an enterprise framework for building, deploying and managing IT automation at scale. IT Managers can provide top-down guidelines on how automation is applied to individual teams, while automation developers retain the freedom to write tasks that leverage existing knowledge without the overhead. Ansible Automation Platform makes it possible for users across an organization to share, vet, and manage automation content by means of a simple, powerful, and agentless language. Security Fix(es): * automation-controller: Django: Potential SQL injection in QuerySet.values() and values_list() (CVE-2024-42005) * automation-controller: Django: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in django.utils.html.urlize() and AdminURLFieldWidget (CVE-2024-41991) * automation-controller: Django: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in django.utils.html.urlize() (CVE-2024-41990) * automation-controller: python-jose: algorithm confusion with OpenSSH ECDSA keys and other key formats (CVE-2024-33663) * automation-controller: python-social-auth: Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity in social-auth-app-django (CVE-2024-32879) * automation-controller: Gain access to the k8s API server via job execution with Container Group (CVE-2024-6840) * python3/python39-django: Potential SQL injection in QuerySet.values() and values_list() (CVE-2024-42005) * python3/python39-django: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in django.utils.html.urlize() and AdminURLFieldWidget (CVE-2024-41991) * python3/python39-django: Potential denial-of-service vulnerability in django.utils.html.urlize() (CVE-2024-41990) * python3/python39-django: Memory exhaustion in django.utils.numberformat.floatformat() (CVE-2024-41989) * python3/python39-django: Potential denial-of-service in django.utils.translation.get_supported_language_variant() (CVE-2024-39614) * python3/python39-django: Potential directory-traversal in django.core.files.storage.Storage.save() (CVE-2024-39330) * python3/python39-django: Username enumeration through timing difference for users with unusable passwords (CVE-2024-39329) * python3/python39-django: Potential denial-of-service in django.utils.html.urlize() (CVE-2024-38875) * python3/python39-grpcio: client communicating with a HTTP/2 proxy can poison the HPACK table between the proxy and the backend (CVE-2024-7246) * python3/python39-zipp: Denial of Service (infinite loop) via crafted zip file (CVE-2024-5569) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Technical Analysis

This advisory covers security updates for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.16.19 and 4.17.2. The key vulnerabilities include CVE-2024-5569, a denial of service caused by an infinite loop in the jaraco/zipp library when processing crafted zip files; CVE-2024-9676, a symlink traversal vulnerability in the containers/storage library used by Podman, Buildah, and CRI-O that can cause denial of service; and CVE-2024-24790, an issue in golang's net/netip package where Is methods behave unexpectedly for IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses. Red Hat has rated the impact as moderate to important and has released RPM packages and container images with fixes. Users are advised to upgrade to OpenShift Container Platform 4.16.19 or 4.17.2 accordingly.

Potential Impact

The vulnerabilities can cause denial of service conditions in affected OpenShift Container Platform deployments. Specifically, CVE-2024-5569 can trigger an infinite loop leading to resource exhaustion, CVE-2024-9676 can cause denial of service via symlink traversal in container storage operations, and CVE-2024-24790 can cause unexpected behavior in IP address handling which may affect network operations. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Red Hat has released official security updates fixing these vulnerabilities in OpenShift Container Platform versions 4.16.19 and 4.17.2. Users should upgrade to these versions or later as soon as they are available via the appropriate release channels. Upgrades can be performed using the OpenShift CLI or web console following Red Hat's documented procedures. No additional mitigations are specified beyond applying the official patches.
