Description
This security bulletin contains information about 10 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10247)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Integrator Acquistion System (Eclipse Jetty) component in Oracle Endeca Information Discovery Integrator. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.
2) Insufficient Session Expiration (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34428)
The vulnerability allows an attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient session expiration issue. If an exception is thrown from the SessionListener#sessionDestroyed() method, then the session ID is not invalidated in the session ID manager. On deployments with clustered sessions and multiple contexts this can result in a session not being invalidated.
3) HTTP request smuggling attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7656)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct an HTTP request smuggling attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of HTTP/0.9 requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP/0.9 request that submits malicious request headers, cause the software and an upstream HTTP agent to misinterpret the boundary of the request and poison the web cache on the system, which could be used to conduct further attacks.
4) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10241)
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 in DefaultServlet or ResourceHandler that is configured for showing a Listing of directory contents. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link 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.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28169)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information..
The vulnerability exists due to a double decoding issue when parsing URI with certain characters. A remote attacker can send requests to the ConcatServlet and WelcomeFilter and view contents of protected resources within the WEB-INF directory.
Example:
/concat?/%2557EB-INF/web.xml
6) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7657)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of queries that do not match the dynamic URL pattern for webapps that use default error handling settings. A remote attacker can send a query that submits malicious input, trigger a java.nio.file.InvalidPathException message, which could allow the attacker to view sensitive information, such as the software installation path.
7) HTTP request smuggling attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7658)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct an HTTP request smuggling attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper handling HTTP requests that contain more than one content-length header. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request that contains a transfer-encoding header and a content-length header, cause the software and an upstream HTTP agent to misinterpret the boundary of the request and to poison the web cache on the system, which could be used to conduct further attacks.
8) Security bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-4800)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error within PathResource class when parsing URLs, which contains certain escaped characters. A remote unauthenticated attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and gain access to protected resources (e.g. WEB-INF and META-INF folders and their contents) or bypass application filters or other restrictions, implemented in servlet configuration.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise protected resources.
9) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-27223)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the General (Eclipse Jetty) component in Oracle REST Data Services. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2047)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing invalid URIs such as http://localhost;/path. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and bypass implemented security restrictions, as the Jetty's HttpClient, and Jetty's ProxyServlet / AsyncProxyServlet / AsyncMiddleManServlet will wrongly interpret an authority of such URI as the one with a hostname.
