Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-45648)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation when parsing HTTP trailer headers. 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.


2) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42794)

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

The vulnerability exists due to Tomcat's internal fork of a Commons FileUpload included an unreleased, in progress refactoring that exposed a potential denial of service on Windows. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack by uploading multiple files to the server that are not removed.


3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".

Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.


4) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42795)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to improper management of internal resources within the application when recycling various internal objects. A remote attacker can force Tomcat to skip some parts of the recycling process leading to information leaking from the current request/response to the next.
