Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-2183)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to decrypt transmitted data.
The vulnerability exists due to remote user's ability to control the network and capture long duration 3DES CBC mode encrypted session during which he can see a part of the text. In case of repeated sending the attacker can read the part and reconstruct the whole text.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to decode transmitted data. This vulnerability is known as SWEET32.
2) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9840)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in zlib due to out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in inftrees.c. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it, and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
3) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9841)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in zlib due to out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in inftrees.c. A remote attacker can cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
4) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9842)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in zlib due to an undefined left shift of negative number. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it, and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
5) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9843)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.The weakness exists in zlib due to big-endian out-of-bounds pointer. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted document, trick the victim into opening it, and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
6) XML injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-1289)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XXE attack.The weakness exists due to improper handling of XML External Entity (XXE) entries when parsing an XML data. A remote attacker can supply a specially crafted XML file to disclose important data or consume memory resources.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in information disclosure.
7) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3509)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information on the target system.The weakness exists due to unknown error. A remote attacker can read and modify arbitrary files.
8) Remote code execution (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3514)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.The weakness exists due to unknown error related to the Java SE AWT component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted webpage and execute arbitrary code with privileges of the current user.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
9) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3533)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify information on the target system.The weakness exists due to unknown error related to the Java SE, Java SE Embedded, JRockit Networking component. A remote attacker can access and modify arbitrary data.
10) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3539)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify information on the target system.The weakness exists due to unknown error related to the Java SE, Java SE Embedded Security component. A remote attacker can trick the victim into visiting a specially crafted webpage, access and modify arbitrary data.
11) Security restrictions bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-3544)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify information on the target system.The weakness exists due to unknown error related to the Java SE, Java SE Embedded Networking component. A remote attacker can access and modify arbitrary data.
