Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

Updated: 13.10.2019
Added vulnerability #3.
Updated: 30.01.2020
Changed bulletin status to patched.

1) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU21580

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 7.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16942

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected application.

The vulnerability exists due to a Polymorphic Typing issue when processing JSON requests  within the org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.SharedPoolDataSource and org.apache.commons.dbcp.datasources.PerUserPoolDataSourc components. A remote attacker can send specially crafted JSON data to an RMI service endpoint and execute arbitrary code on he system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint, the service has the commons-dbcp (1.4) jar in the classpath, and an attacker can find an RMI service endpoint to send requests to.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU21593

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 7.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16943

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected application.

The vulnerability exists due to a Polymorphic Typing issue when processing JSON requests  within the com.p6spy.engine.spy.P6DataSource component. A remote attacker can send specially crafted JSON data to an RMI service endpoint and execute arbitrary code on he system.

3) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU21750

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17531

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected software.

The vulnerability exists due to a Polymorphic Typing in jackson-databind when processing JSON requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted JSON data to JNDI service and execute a malicious payload.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability requires that Default Typing is enabled (either globally or for a specific property) for an externally exposed JSON endpoint and the service has the apache-log4j-extra (version 1.2.x) jar in the classpath.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
