Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29425)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform directory traversal attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to input validation error within the FileNameUtils.normalize method when processing directory traversal sequences, such as "//../foo", or "\..foo". A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and verify files availability in the parent folder.
2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-41165)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when processing HTML comments. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28657)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within MP3Parser component. A remote attacker can suply a specially crafted file, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-31812)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing PDF files. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
5) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44832)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote user with permission to modify the logging configuration file can construct a malicious configuration using a JDBC Appender with a data source referencing a JNDI URI which can execute remote code.
6) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37714)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing untrusted HTML and XML code. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
7) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25649)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify information on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and modify information on the system.
8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37137)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Content Acquisition System (Netty) component in Oracle Commerce Guided Search. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36090)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing ZIP archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
