Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9488)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the Apache Log4j SMTP appender does not validate SSL certificates. A remote attacker can perform a MitM attack, intercept and decrypt network traffic.


2) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11979)

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect patch for vulnerability #VU27924 (CVE-2020-1945). Apache Ant 1.10.8 changed the permissions of temporary files it created so that only the current user was allowed to access them. Unfortunately the fixcrlf task deleted the temporary file and created a new one without said protection, effectively nullifying the effort. This would still allow an attacker to inject modified source files into the build process.


3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-5421)

The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to read and manipulate data.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Core (Spring Framework) component in Oracle Communications Session Report Manager. A remote authenticated user can exploit this vulnerability to read and manipulate data.


4) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-0228)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted  XFDF file to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.


5) Exposed dangerous method or function (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10683)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to abuse implemented functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to dom4j allows by default external DTDs and External Entities. A remote attacker can abuse this functionality and perform XXE attack against application that uses dom4j default configuration.
