Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU51878

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28163

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application. If the ${jetty.base} directory or the ${jetty.base}/webapps directory is a symlink, the contents of the ${jetty.base}/webapps directory may be deployed as a static web application, exposing the content of the directory for download.

Mitigation

Update the affected package jetty-minimal to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Development Tools: 15-SP2 - 15-SP3

jetty-util-ajax: before 9.4.42-3.9.1

jetty-util: before 9.4.42-3.9.1

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU51877

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28164

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when processing special characters, passed via URI. A remote attacker can use %2e or %2e%2e segments to access protected resources within the WEB-INF directory.

Example:

http://[host]/context/%2e/WEB-INF/web.xml

Mitigation

Update the affected package jetty-minimal to the latest version.

3) Resource exhaustion

EUVDB-ID: #VU51876

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28165

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing large TLS frames. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the server, trigger CPU high load and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package jetty-minimal to the latest version.

4) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU53973

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [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]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-28169

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a double decoding issue when parsing URI with certain characters. A remote attacker can send requests to the ConcatServlet and WelcomeFilter and view contents of protected resources within the WEB-INF directory.

Example:

/concat?/%2557EB-INF/web.xml

Mitigation

Update the affected package jetty-minimal to the latest version.
