Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25883)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when processing regular expressions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application via the new Range function and perform regular expression denial of service (ReDos) attack.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3171)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in EAP-7 during deserialization of certain classes, which permits instantiation of HashMap and HashTable with no checks on resources consumed. A remote attacker can send specially crafted requests using these classes to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4061)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management in the RBAC implementation. A remote user can use the resolve-expression in the HAL interface to read system properties from the Wildfly system.
4) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26136)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform prototype pollution, which can result in information disclosure or data manipulation.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26464)
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. When using the Chainsaw or SocketAppender components with Log4j 1.x on JRE less than 1.7, an attacker that manages to cause a logging entry involving a specially-crafted (i.e., deeply nested) hashmap or hashtable (depending on which logging component is in use) to be processed can exhaust the available memory in the virtual machine and achieve denial of service when the object is deserialized.
6) LDAP injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33201)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in applications that use an LDAP CertStore from Bouncy Castle to validate X.509 certificates. During the certificate validation process, Bouncy Castle inserts the certificate's Subject Name into an LDAP search filter without any escaping, which leads to an LDAP injection vulnerability. A remote non-authenticated attacker can use a specially crafted X.509 certificate to bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application.
7) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34462)
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 if no idle timeout handler was configured. A remote attacker can send a client hello packet, which leads the server to buffer up to 16MB of data per connection and results in a denial of service condition.
