Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9488)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the Apache Log4j SMTP appender does not validate SSL certificates. A remote attacker can perform a MitM attack, intercept and decrypt network traffic.


2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-27218)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the SC Admin server (Eclipse Jetty) component in Oracle Communications Converged Application Server - Service Controller. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate or delete data.


3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11979)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect patch for vulnerability #VU27924 (CVE-2020-1945). Apache Ant 1.10.8 changed the permissions of temporary files it created so that only the current user was allowed to access them. Unfortunately the fixcrlf task deleted the temporary file and created a new one without said protection, effectively nullifying the effort. This would still allow an attacker to inject modified source files into the build process.
