Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8032)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists in the default servlet/services 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.
2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-3596)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
The getCN function in Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier does not properly verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via a certificate with a subject that specifies a common name in a field that is not the CN field. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5784. <a href="http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/297.html" target="_blank">CWE-297: Improper Validation of Certificate with Host Mismatch</a>
3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0227)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Core (Apache Axis) component in Oracle Communications Design Studio. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-5784)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Axis did not verify that the server host name matched the domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field in X.509 certificates. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and spoof an SSL server if they had a certificate that was valid for any domain name.
