Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-8627)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
admin-cli before versions 3.0.0.alpha25, 2.2.1.cr2 is vulnerable to an EAP feature to download server log files that allows logs to be available via GET requests making them vulnerable to cross-origin attacks. An attacker could trigger the user's browser to request the log files consuming enough resources that normal server functioning could be impaired.
