Description
This security bulletin contains information about 17 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22959)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests, where the application accepts requests with a space right after the header name before the colon. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
2) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-22960)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to preform HTTP request smuggling attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP requests, where the application ignores chunk extensions when parsing the body of chunked requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the server and smuggle arbitrary HTTP headers.
Successful exploitation of vulnerability may allow an attacker to poison HTTP cache and perform phishing attacks.
3) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-29842)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output, when the WebSphere Application Server is configured with a federated repository. A remote attacker can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information on the system.
4) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35517)
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 TAR archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35556)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Swing component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
6) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35559)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Swing component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
7) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35560)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Deployment component in Java SE. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
8) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35564)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to manipulate data.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Keytool component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate data.
9) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35565)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the JSSE component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
10) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35578)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the JSSE component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition when processing TLS 1.3 ClientHello packets. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
11) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35586)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the ImageIO component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
12) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-35588)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Hotspot component in Oracle GraalVM Enterprise Edition. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform service disruption.
13) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-36090)
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 ZIP archives. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
14) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-41035)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions. The JVM does not throw IllegalAccessError for MethodHandles that invoke inaccessible interface methods. A remote attacker can send a request to a non-public method and gain unauthorized access to the application.
15) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-44228)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing LDAP requests. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
Note, we are aware of attackers exploiting the vulnerability in the wild.
16) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45046)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The
vulnerability exists due to incomplete patch in Apache Log4j 2.15.0 for
a code injection vulnerability #VU58816 (CVE-2021-44228) in certain
non-default configurations. A remote attacker with control over Thread
Context Map (MDC) input data when the logging configuration uses a
non-default Pattern Layout with either a Context Lookup (for example,
$${ctx:loginId}) or a Thread Context Map pattern (%X, %mdc, or %MDC) can
pass malicious data using a JNDI Lookup pattern and perform a denial of
service (DoS) attack, exfiltrate data or execute arbitrary code.
Later discovery demonstrates a remote code execution on macOS but no other tested environments.
17) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-45105)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the StrSubstitutor class. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
