Description
This security bulletin contains information about 13 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-1000027)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29133)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when calling the ListDelimiterHandler.flatten(Object, int) with a cyclical object tree. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-29131)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input. A remote attacker can pass specialy crafted data to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
4) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-5783)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons HttpClient does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.
5) 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.
6) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25694)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack or observe clear-text transmissions and downgrade connection security settings.
7) SQL injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25695)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to read, delete, modify data in database and gain complete control over the affected application.
8) Prototype pollution (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-33883)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation. A remote attacker can add or modify properties of Object.prototype using a __proto__ or constructor payload to execute arbitrary code on the system.
9) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-22262)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing URL with the UriComponentsBuilder component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
Note, this vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU87614 (CVE-2024-22259) and #VU86695 (CVE-2024-22243).
10) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39338)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
11) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25696)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to the "\gset" meta-command does not distinguish variables that control psql behavior. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary code as the operating system account.
12) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39750)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper return length checking. A remote user could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the server to crash.
13) Information Exposure Through an Error Message (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-35134)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. A remote attacker can obtain sensitive information when a detailed technical error message is returned in the browser.
