Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Information Exposure Through Timing Discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15522)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The
vulnerability exists due to a timing issue within the EC math library. A remote attacker who can observe timing information for the generation of multiple deterministic ECDSA signatures is able to reconstruct the private key used for encryption.
2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-26939)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to observable differences in behavior to error inputs within the org.bouncycastle.crypto.encodings.OAEPEncoding component in Legion of the Bouncy Castle BC. A remote attacker can obtain sensitive information about a private exponent by sending invalid ciphertext that decrypts to a short payload in the OAEP Decoder. This causes the application to throw an early exception, potentially leaking some information about the private exponent of the RSA private key performing the encryption.
3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17359)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the ASN.1 parser. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted ASN.1 data and cause an OutOfMemoryError and perform denial of service attack.
4) 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.
5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1000180)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the IDIH Visualization (Bouncy Castle Java Library) component in Oracle Communications Diameter Signaling Router (DSR). A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.
6) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25647)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data passed to writeReplace() method. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
