Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU5449
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-8745
CWE-ID:
CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists to error within the send file code for the NIO HTTP connector, which causes current Processor object being added to the Processor cache multiple times. This behavior means that sharing the same Processor for concurrent requests can lead to leakage of potentially sensitive information between requests, such as session ID, request body, etc.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 42.1 - 42.2
External linkshttp://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2017-05/msg00037.html
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Information disclosure
EUVDB-ID: #VU6674
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5647
CWE-ID:
CWE-200 - Information exposure
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information on the target system.
The weakness exists in the handling of the pipelined requests when send file was used resulted in the pipelined request being lost when send file processing of the previous request completed. A remote attacker can cause responses to appear to be sent for the wrong request.
Update the affected packages.

3) Security restrictions bypass
EUVDB-ID: #VU6675
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5648
CWE-ID:
CWE-284 - Improper Access Control
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions on the target system.
The weakness exists due to the failure to use the appropriate facade object by certain application listener calls. A remote attacker can access and modify arbitrary data.
Update the affected packages.
