SB2023040101 - Axway SecureTransport update for Apache Log4j and OpenJDK JRE (January 2022)

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44228)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing LDAP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Note, we are aware of attackers exploiting the vulnerability in the wild.

2) 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.

3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45105)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the StrSubstitutor class. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.

Payload example: ${${::-${::-$${::-j}}}}

4) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35567)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Libraries component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.

5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35560)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Deployment component in Java SE. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.

6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3517)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in the xml entity encoding functionality. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
