Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1270)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists in the spring-messaging module in Spring Frameworks due to the affected software allows a memory-based Simple/Streaming Text Orientated Messaging Protocol (STOMP) broker to expose STOMP over WebSocket endpoints. A remote attacker can send a message that submits malicious input to the broker and execute arbitrary code.

2) Improper privilege management (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1272)

CWE-ID: CWE-269 - Improper Privilege Management

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper processing of multipart requests. A remote attacker can make a multipart request that injects malicious content to the target server, cause it to use wrong values and gain root privileges.


3) Path traversal (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1271)

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information and write arbitrary files on the target system.

The weakness exists in the spring-webmvc module due to the improper serving of static resources from a file system on Microsoft Windows systems. A remote attacker can send a malicious request using a crafted URL, trigger directory traversal, overwrite, delete or read potentially sensitive file information.
