After receiving several bad packets on the request server equal to the number of worker threads, the master will become unresponsive to return requests until restarted.

CVE-2021-33226 [CRITICAL] CWE-120 CVE-2021-33226: Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Saltstack v.3003 and before allows attacker to execute arbitrary co Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Saltstack v.3003 and before allows attacker to execute arbitrary code via the func variable in salt/salt/modules/status.py file. NOTE: this is disputed by third parties because an attacker cannot influence the eval input

CVE-2022-22967 [HIGH] CWE-863 CVE-2022-22967: An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.9, 3003.5, 3004.2. PAM auth fails An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.9, 3003.5, 3004.2. PAM auth fails to reject locked accounts, which allows a previously authorized user whose account is locked still run Salt commands when their account is locked. This affects both local shell accounts with an active session and salt-api users that authenticate via PAM

CVE-2022-22934 [HIGH] CVE-2022-22934: An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. Salt Masters do An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. Salt Masters do not sign pillar data with the minion’s public key, which can result in attackers substituting arbitrary pillar data.

CVE-2022-22936 [HIGH] CWE-294 CVE-2022-22936: An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. Job publishes a An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. Job publishes and file server replies are susceptible to replay attacks, which can result in an attacker replaying job publishes causing minions to run old jobs. File server replies can also be re-played. A sufficient craft attacker could gain root access on minion un

CVE-2022-22941 [HIGH] CWE-732 CVE-2022-22941: An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. When configured An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. When configured as a Master-of-Masters, with a publisher_acl, if a user configured in the publisher_acl targets any minion connected to the Syndic, the Salt Master incorrectly interpreted no valid targets as valid, allowing configured users to target any of the minion

CVE-2022-22935 [LOW] CWE-287 CVE-2022-22935: An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. A minion authen An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt in versions before 3002.8, 3003.4, 3004.1. A minion authentication denial of service can cause a MiTM attacker to force a minion process to stop by impersonating a master.

CVE-2021-21996 [HIGH] CVE-2021-21996: An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3003.3. A user who has control of the source, and s An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3003.3. A user who has control of the source, and source_hash URLs can gain full file system access as root on a salt minion.

CVE-2021-22004 [MEDIUM] CWE-362 CVE-2021-22004: An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3003.3. The salt minion installer will accept and u An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3003.3. The salt minion installer will accept and use a minion config file at C:\salt\conf if that file is in place before the installer is run. This allows for a malicious actor to subvert the proper behaviour of the given minion software.

CVE-2021-31607 [HIGH] CWE-78 CVE-2021-31607: In SaltStack Salt 2016.9 through 3002.6, a command injection vulnerability exists in the snapper mod In SaltStack Salt 2016.9 through 3002.6, a command injection vulnerability exists in the snapper module that allows for local privilege escalation on a minion. The attack requires that a file is created with a pathname that is backed up by snapper, and that the master calls the snapper.diff function (which executes popen unsafely).

CVE-2021-25315 [CRITICAL] CWE-287 CVE-2021-25315: CWE - CWE-287: Improper Authentication vulnerability in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP 3; openSU CWE - CWE-287: Improper Authentication vulnerability in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP 3; openSUSE Tumbleweed allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code via salt without the need to specify valid credentials.

Sending crafted web requests to the Salt AP An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. Sending crafted web requests to the Salt API can result in salt.utils.thin.gen_thin() command injection because of different handling of single versus double quotes. This is related to salt/utils/thin.py.

CVE-2021-25283 [CRITICAL] CWE-94 CVE-2021-25283: An issue was discovered in through SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. The jinja renderer does not protect An issue was discovered in through SaltStack Salt before 3002.5. The jinja renderer does not protect against server side template injection attacks.
