Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0205)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when processing user-supplied input. A remote attacker can pass malicious input to the application and consume all available system resources or cause denial of service conditions.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0210)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in TJSONProtocol and TSimpleJSONProtocol. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Protection mechanism failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-10086)

CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability exist due to Beanutils is not using by default the a special BeanIntrospector class in PropertyUtilsBean that was supposed to suppress the ability for an attacker to access the classloader via the class property available on all Java objects. A remote attacker can abuse such application behavior against applications that were developed to rely on this security feature.


4) XML External Entity Reference (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12400)

CWE-ID: CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')

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:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to the loading of XML parsing code from an untrusted source. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system when validating signed documents. 


5) Cryptographic issues (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14887)

CWE-ID: CWE-310 - Cryptographic Issues

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/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 gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists in Wildfly. The 'enabled-protocols' value in legacy security is not respected if OpenSSL security provider is in use. A remote attacker can abuse this issue to gain access to sensitive information.


6) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20444)

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of HTTP headers without the colon within the HttpObjectDecoder.java file in Netty. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the application and perform HTTP request smuggling attack.


7) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-20445)

CWE-ID: CWE-113 - Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences in HTTP Headers ('HTTP Response Splitting')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to software does not corrector process CRLF character sequences within the HttpObjectDecoder.java in Netty, which allows a Content-Length header to be accompanied by a second Content-Length header, or by a Transfer-Encoding header. A remote attacker can send specially crafted request containing CRLF sequence and make the application to send a split HTTP response.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.


8) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7238)

CWE-ID: CWE-444 - Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP request smuggling attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing a whitespace before the colon in HTTP headers (e.g. "Transfer-Encoding : chunked") and a later Content-Length header. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and perform HTTP request smuggling attack.

This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-16869 (SB2019092616).
