Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2009-4521)

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in birt-viewer/run in Eclipse Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) before 2.5.0, as used in KonaKart and other products, when processing __report parameter. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security 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.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-0250)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service via a crafted SVG file.


3) XXE attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5662)

The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to conduct XXE-attack on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper restriction of XML external entity references. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted xml document to gain access to arbitrary files or conduct amplification attack to cause the service to crash.

4) Deserialization of untrusted data (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8013)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted data, trigger a deserialization error in a subclass of 'AbstractDocuent' and access potentially sensitive information.


5) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17566)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of "xlink:href" attributes. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


6) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11987)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.


7) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2009-4269)

The vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to password hash generation algorithm in the BUILTIN authentication functionality for Apache Derby performs a transformation that reduces the size of the set of inputs to SHA-1. A local attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


8) Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-41033)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack.

The vulnerability exists if using p2 repos that are HTTP; that can then be exploited to serve incorrect p2 metadata and entirely alter the local installation. A remote unauthenticated attacker can perform Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack.
