Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51074)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the Criteria.parse() method. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service attack.


2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20926)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Scripting component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-13956)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected application.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in Apache HttpClient. A remote attacker can pass request URIs to the library as java.net.URI object and force the application to pick the wrong target host for request execution.


4) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44483)

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

The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files when using the JSR 105 API. A remote user can obtain a private key when generating an XML Signature with debug level enabled.


5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51775)

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. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion via large p2c (aka PBES2 Count) value and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


6) Incorrect Conversion between Numeric Types (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3635)

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

The vulnerability exists due to GzipSource does not handle an exception that might be raised when parsing a malformed gzip buffer. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35116)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to perform service disruption.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Oracle Database Fleet Patching and Provisioning (jackson-databind) in Oracle Database Server. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.


8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-20952)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Security component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read and manipulate data.


9) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32052)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to software does not correctly processes CRLF character sequences in URLValidator. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.

Note, the vulnerability affects Django installations on Python 3.9.5+.
