Description

This security bulletin contains information about 15 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-30129)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the sshd-core of Apache Mina SSHD. A remote attacker can send specially crafted requests to the server, trigger buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42004)

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control usage of deeply nested arrays in BeanDeserializer._deserializeFromArray. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40152)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the Woodstox XML parser. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.


4) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45047)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within the org.apache.sshd.server.keyprovider.SimpleGeneratorHostKeyProvider class. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3171)

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 containing multiple instances of non-repeated embedded messages with repeated or unknown fields. A remote attacker can cause objects to be converted back-n-forth between mutable and immutable forms, resulting in potentially long garbage collection pauses.


6) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3782)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform path traversal attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of URLs included in a redirect. A remote attacker can construct a malicious request to bypass validation by using double encoding, access other URLs and potentially sensitive information within the domain.


7) Insecure Temporary File (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-0482)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insecure creation of temporary files. A local user can gain access to sensitive information.


8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42920)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the API. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted request to the affected application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-25857)

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 when handling YAML files. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


10) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42889)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an insecure variable interpolation when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted input and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Note, the vulnerability was dubbed Text4shell.


11) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40151)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error if the parser is running on user supplied input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML input to the application and perform a denial of service attack.


12) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42003)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data when the UNWRAP_SINGLE_VALUE_ARRAYS feature is enabled. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


13) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38900)

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. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


14) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1108)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop caused by an unexpected handshake status updated in SslConduit. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


15) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-46364)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing the href attribute of XOP:Include in MTOM requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
