Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Sensitive cookie in HTTPS session without Secure attribute (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28708)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Tomcat does not set the "Secure" attribute for the JSESSIONID session cookie when using the RemoteIpFilter with requests received from a reverse proxy via HTTP that include the X-Forwarded-Proto header set to https. A remote attacker can force the application to transmit cookie via an insecure channel and intercept it.
2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42252)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers via an invalid
Content-Length header.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks but requires Tomcat to be configured to ignore invalid HTTP headers via setting
rejectIllegalHeader to false (not the default configuration).
3) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-28709)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an incomplete fox for #VU72427 (CVE-2023-24998). If non-default HTTP connector settings were used such that the maxParameterCount could be reached using query string parameters and a request was submitted that supplied exactly maxParameterCount parameters in the query string, the limit for uploaded request parts could be bypassed. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.4) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24998)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request parts. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34305)
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 passed to the form authentication example in the examples web application. 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.
6) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45143)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate server output.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the JsonErrorReportValve when handling type, message or description values. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and manipulate or invalidate JSON output.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
7) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41080)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data, if the ROOT (default) web application is configured to use FORM authentication. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
8) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43980)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of blocking reads and writes. A remote attacker can trigger a concurrency bug and force client connections to share an Http11Processor instance resulting in responses, or part responses, to be received by the wrong client.
