SB2024112254 - openEuler 24.03 LTS update for tomcat

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43980)

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

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of blocking reads and writes. A remote attacker can trigger a concurrency bug and force client connections to share an Http11Processor instance resulting in responses, or part responses, to be received by the wrong client.

2) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25762)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error when handling WebSocket connections. If a web application sends a WebSocket message concurrently with the WebSocket connection closing, it is possible that the application will continue to use the socket after it has been closed. As a result, subsequent connections can use the same object concurrently and share data and/or other errors.

3) 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.

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) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-23672)

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 keep WebSocket connections open for a long time to trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24549)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when handling HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP/2 requests to the server and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

7) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-34750)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when handling HTTP/2 stream. A remote attacker can initiate multiple HTTP/2 connections to the server that are remain open and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52318)

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 in generated JSPs. 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.
