Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22049)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Libraries component in Oracle GraalVM for JDK. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.
2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-22036)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Utility component in Oracle GraalVM for JDK. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40167)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests when handling the "+" character passed via the HTTP/1 header field. 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.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-36479)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CGI Servlet when quoting a command before its execution. A remote user can force the application to execute arbitrary file on the server and potentially compromise the system.
5) 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.
6) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41900)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass implemented security restrictions.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the revocation process. If a Jetty OpenIdAuthenticator uses the optional nested LoginService, and that LoginService decides to revoke an already authenticated user, then the current request will still treat the user as authenticated.
7) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-36478)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in MetaDataBuilder.checkSize when handling HTTP/2 HPACK header values. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request to the server, trigger an integer overflow and crash the server.
