Description

This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20918)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read and manipulate data.


2) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-1597)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when using the "PreferQueryMode=SIMPLE" option. 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.


3) 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.


4) Observable discrepancy (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33850)

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

The vulnerability exists due to timing-based side channel in the RSA Decryption implementation. A remote attacker can send an overly large number of trial messages for decryption and gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.


5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20945)

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

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


6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20926)

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

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


7) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20919)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.


8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20921)

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 Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.


9) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20952)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Security component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read and manipulate data.


10) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24903)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing data in imtcp, imptcp, imgssapi, and imhttp modules used for TCP syslog reception. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability is possible if the attacker is able to directly send specially crafted messages to the rsyslog daemon or by injecting specially crafted data into log files. Vulnerability exploitation in the second scenario requires that the rsyslog client supports octet-counted framing, which is not a default configuration.


11) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46750)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data when "form" authentication is used. 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.


12) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-29622)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of file extension when uploading files. A remote attacker can upload and execute arbitrary file on the system.


13) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52425)

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 parsing large tokens. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


14) XML Entity Expansion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52426)

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

The vulnerability exists due to recursive XML Entity Expansion if XML_DTD is undefined at compile time. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


15) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-28757)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input when using external parsers via XML_ExternalEntityParserCreate. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
