Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42503)

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 parsing .tar archives. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and consume excessive CPU usage.


2) Inadequate encryption strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-48795)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), which mishandles the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5.

The vulnerability was dubbed "Terrapin attack" and it affects both client and server implementations.


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) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-21067)

The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Host Management component in Oracle Enterprise Manager Base Platform. A local authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
