Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) OS command injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11066)
CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
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 shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote unauthenticated attacker can inject and execute arbitrary shell commands to compromise vulnerable system.
2) Open redirect (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11067)
CWE-ID: CWE-601 - URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to redirect victims to arbitrary URL.
The vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can create a link that leads to a trusted website, however, when clicked, redirects the victim to arbitrary domain.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to perform a phishing attack and steal potentially sensitive information.
3) OS command injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11076)
CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote administrative attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists in the 'getlogs' troubleshooting utility in VDP due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can inject and execute arbitrary shell commands under root privilege.
4) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11077)
CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor
CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to VDP Java management console’s SSL/TLS private key may be leaked in the VDP Java management client package. A remote attacker can access arbitrary data that may be used by an unauthenticated attacker on the same data-link layer to initiate a MITM attack on management console users.
