Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44483)

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

The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files when using the JSR 105 API. A remote user can obtain a private key when generating an XML Signature with debug level enabled.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51775)

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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion via large p2c (aka PBES2 Count) value and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22353)

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


4) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22329)

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.


5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-27270)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in 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.


6) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-25026)

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 handling HTTP requests. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-46158)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to improper resource expiration handling. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions.


8) Use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-50312)

The vulnerability allows an adjacent attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to weaker than expected security for outbound TLS connections caused by a failure to honor user configuration. An adjacent attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
