Description
This security bulletin contains information about 14 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-4658)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error, caused by using namespace nodes in XPointer ranges within the xpointer.c in libxml2. A remote attackers can pass specially crated XML document to he application, trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
2) Man-in-the-middle attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8039)
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to conduct man-in-the-middle attack on the target system.The weakness exists due to improper verification of TLS hostnames when used with the 'com.sun.net.ssl' implementation. A remote attacker can conduct a man-in-the-middle attack and bypass the hostname verification.
3) Data handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-12624)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists due to data handling. A remote attacker can send specially crafted message attachment header and cause the service to crash.
4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11719)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
When importing a curve25519 private key in PKCS#8format with leading 0x00 bytes, it is possible to trigger an out-of-bounds read in the Network Security Services (NSS) library. This could lead to information disclosure. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 60.8, Firefox < 68, and Thunderbird < 60.8.
5) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-6829)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to usage of wNAF point multiplication algorithm when performing EC scalar point multiplication, which leaked partial information about the nonce used during signature generation. A remote attacker can perform an electro-magnetic side-channel attack and recover the private key.
6) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17006)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Mozilla NSS library when processing input text length while using certain cryptographic primitives. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11756)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error when processing SFTKSession object. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into opening it, trigger a use-after-free error and crash the application or execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30468)
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 in the JsonMapObjectReaderWriter. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by submitting a malformed JSON to a web service and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22696)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of "request_uri" parameter by the OAuth 2 authorization service. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-1954)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack.
The vulnerability exists in the JMX Integration when the "createMBServerConnectorFactory" property of the default InstrumentationManagerImpl is not disabled. A remote attacker on the same host can perform a man-in-the-middle attack and gain access to all of the information that is sent and received over JMX.
11) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13954)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Supplier Direct Fulfillment (Apache CXF) component in Oracle Retail Order Broker Cloud Service. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read and manipulate data.
12) Insufficiently protected credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12423)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access ti sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to the application allows a client to obtain the keys from a JWK keystore file, by setting the configuration parameter "rs.security.keystore.type" to "jwk". A remote non-authenticated attacker can obtain all private key and secret key credentials and gain unauthorized access to the application.
13) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12406)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to the affected software does not restrict the number of message attachments present in a given message. A remote authenticated attacker can craft a message containing a very large number of message attachments and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
14) Unprotected storage of credentials (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-39077)
The vulnerability allows a local privileged user to gain access to other users' credentials.
The vulnerability exists due to IBM Security Guardium stores user credentials in plain clear text which can be read by a local privileged user. A local privileged user can view contents of the configuration file and gain access to passwords for 3rd party integration.
