Description
This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14721)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform SSRF attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to fail to block the axis2-jaxws class from polymorphic deserialization. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and trick the application to initiate requests to arbitrary systems.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker gain access to sensitive data, located in the local network or send malicious requests to other servers from the vulnerable system.
2) XXE attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14720)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XXE attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to fail to block unspecified Java Development Kit (JDK) classes from polymorphic deserialization. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input, conduct an XXE attack to access sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the targeted system.
3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14719)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to fail to block blaze-ds-opt and blaze-ds-core classes from polymorphic deserialization. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input to execute arbitrary code.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19361)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to fail to block the openjpa class from polymorphic deserialization. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input to perform unauthorized actions on the system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.
5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19360)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to fail to block the axis2-transport-jmsclass from polymorphic deserialization. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input to perform unauthorized actions on the system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19362)
The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition or execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to fail to block the jboss-common-coreclass from polymorphic deserialization. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request that submits malicious input to perform unauthorized actions on the system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.
