Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Type Confusion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3676)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a type confusion error. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a type confusion error and access or modify memory.


2) Missing initialization of resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28167)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of the jdk.internal.reflect.ConstantPool API causes the JVM in some cases to pre-resolve certain constant pool entries. This allows a user to call static methods or access static members without running the class initialization method. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the application and observe uninitialized values.


3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21628)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Lightweight HTTP Server component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.


4) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21626)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Security component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.


5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21624)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the JNDI component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.


6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-21619)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Security component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.


7) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-41041)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to Java versions 8 and 11 fail to throw the exception captured during bytecode verification when verification is triggered by a MethodHandle invocation. A remote attacker can invoke unverified methods using MethodHandles and bypass implemented security restrictions.


8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-2163)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Libraries component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.
