Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Incorrect Regular Expression (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-33879)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation in the StandardsExtractingContentHandler. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fixes for #VU63404 (CVE-2022-30126) and #VU63904 (CVE-2022-30973).
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30973)
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 in the "StandardsText" class in the StandardsExtractingContentHandler. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16869)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing a whitespace before the colon in HTTP headers (e.g. "Transfer-Encoding : chunked"). A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and perform HTTP request smuggling attack.
4) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20444)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of HTTP headers without the colon within the HttpObjectDecoder.java file in Netty. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the application and perform HTTP request smuggling attack.
5) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20445)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to software does not corrector process CRLF character sequences within the HttpObjectDecoder.java in Netty, which allows a Content-Length header to be accompanied by a second Content-Length header, or by a Transfer-Encoding header. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.
6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21295)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests in io.netty:netty-codec-http2 when converting HTTP/2 to HTTP/1 streams. 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.
7) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-21409)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests in io.netty:netty-codec-http2 in Netty, if the request only uses a single Http2HeaderFrame with the endStream set to to true. 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.
8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37136)
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 in Bzip2 decompression decoder function. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
9) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37137)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Content Acquisition System (Netty) component in Oracle Commerce Guided Search. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43797)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when processing control chars present at the beginning / end of the header name. 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.
11) Security features bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-24329)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass certain security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to unspecified error, related to the ability to lock dependencies for Kotlin Multiplatform Gradle projects.
