Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Deserialization of Untrusted Data
EUVDB-ID: #VU27960
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17571
CWE-ID:
CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure input validation when processing serialized data within the SocketServer class in Log4j. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and execute arbitrary code on the target system, if these is a deserialization gadget listening to untrusted network traffic for log data.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationInstall update from vendor's website.

2) Improper Certificate Validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU27487
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-9488
CWE-ID:
CWE-295 - Improper Certificate Validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform man-in-the-middle attack.
