Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.


1) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34165)

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: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 request smuggling attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of HTTP 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.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42004)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

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 application does not properly control usage of deeply nested arrays in BeanDeserializer._deserializeFromArray. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Authentication Bypass by Spoofing (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22476)

CWE-ID: CWE-290 - Authentication Bypass by Spoofing

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute identity spoofing attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to an unspecified error in IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty. A remote authenticated user can send a specially crafted request to perform identity spoofing attacks.


4) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-42003)

CWE-ID: CWE-502 - Deserialization of Untrusted Data

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 insecure input validation when processing serialized data when the UNWRAP_SINGLE_VALUE_ARRAYS feature is enabled. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


5) Inadequate Encryption Strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-38391)

CWE-ID: CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength

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


The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of weaker than expected cryptographic algorithms. A local user can decrypt highly sensitive information on the system.
