Description
This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52316)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing authentication requests. If Tomcat was configured to use a custom Jakarta Authentication (formerly JASPIC) ServerAuthContext component which may throw an exception during the authentication process without explicitly setting an HTTP status to indicate failure, the authentication may not have failed, allowing the user to bypass the authentication process.
2) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52317)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources when handling HTTP/2 responses, which causes request and/or response mix-up between users. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a series of HTTP/2 requests and gain access to sensitive information.
3) 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.
