Description

This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41080)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data, if the ROOT (default) web application is configured to use FORM authentication. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.


2) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-47146)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions caused by improper data identification. A remote privileged user can gain access to sensitive domain information.


3) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46604)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data in the OpenWire protocol. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46589)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when parsing malformed trailer headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


5) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45648)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation when parsing HTTP trailer headers. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42795)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when recycling various internal objects. A remote attacker can force Tomcat to skip some parts of the recycling process leading to information leaking from the current request/response to the next.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41835)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly handles multipart requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted multipart request with fields that exceed the maxStringLength  limit and force the application to use disk excessively even if the request was denied.


9) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40787)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.


10) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22045)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM for JDK. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.


11) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40167)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when handling the "+" character passed via the HTTP/1 header field. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.


12) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-36479)

The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet when quoting a command before its execution. A remote user can force the application to execute arbitrary file on the server and potentially compromise the system.


13) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-36478)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in MetaDataBuilder.checkSize when handling HTTP/2 HPACK header values. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request to the server, trigger an integer overflow and crash the server.


14) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35001)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the nft_byteorder() function. A local user can trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


15) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-34040)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

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


16) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-32233)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a use-after-free error in Netfilter nf_tables when processing batch requests. A local user can trigger a use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.


17) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26049)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when parsing cookies. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request with a cookie value that starts with a double quote and force the application to read the cookie string until it sees a closing quote. Such behavior can be used to exfiltrate sensitive values from other cookies.


18) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22049)

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 for JDK. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.
