SB20250416115 - Multiple vulnerabilities in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) External control of file name or path (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38546)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject arbitrary cookies into request.

The vulnerability exists due to the way cookies are handled by libcurl. If a transfer has cookies enabled when the handle is duplicated, the cookie-enable state is also cloned - but without cloning the actual cookies. If the source handle did not read any cookies from a specific file on disk, the cloned version of the handle would instead store the file name as none (using the four ASCII letters, no quotes).

Subsequent use of the cloned handle that does not explicitly set a source to load cookies from would then inadvertently load cookies from a file named none - if such a file exists and is readable in the current directory of the program using libcurl.

2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9143)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when using the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial. A remote attacker can send specially crafted input to the server, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Note, the vulnerability can be exploited against the application in rare cases only that involve "exotic" curve encoding.

3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-37891)

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

The vulnerability exists due to Prox-Authorization header is not stripped during cross-origin redirects when using urllib3's proxy support with ProxyManager. A remote attacker can gain obtain proxy credentials used by the library.

4) Improper Authorization (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-38827)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authorization.

The vulnerability exists due to presence of Locale dependent exceptions when using String.toLowerCase() and String.toUpperCase() for string comparison. A remote attacker can bypass authorization rules using specially crafted input.

Note, the vulnerability is related to #VU98795 (CVE-2024-38820).

5) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25399)

The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the Py_FindObjects() function. A local user can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.

6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-36033)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of HTML code within the jsoup cleaner, including javascript: URL expressions when the non-default SafeList.preserveRelativeLinks option is enabled. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

7) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-7264)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the ASN1 parser code in the GTime2str() function. A remote attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read error and cause a denial of service condition on the system.

8) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-30172)

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in the Ed25519 verification code. A remote attacker can pass a specially signature and public key to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.

9) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-52428)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user requests by the PasswordBasedDecrypter (PBKDF2) component. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request using a large JWE p2c header, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

10) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-32007)

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

The vulnerability exists within the JOSE code due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input passed via the p2c parameter. A remote attacker can pass a large value for the affected parameter in a token and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

11) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-52046)

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 in ObjectSerializationDecoder. 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.
