Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0112)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper access restrictions within the getClass method in ParametersInterceptor. A remote non-authenticated attacker can manipulate the ClassLoader via a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code on the system.

Note, the vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for #VU5234 (CVE-2014-0094).


2) Security bypass (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0094)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restsrictions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to an error in ParametersInterceptor. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted class parameter to manipulate the ClassLoader used by the application server.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in security bypass on the vulnerable system.

Note: the vulnerability was being actively exploited.

3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-0050)

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:A/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS conditions on the target system.

The weakness exists due to boundary error when handling Content-Type HTTP header for multipart requests. By sending a specially crafted Content-Type header, containing 4092 characters in "boundary" field, a remote attacker can cause the application to enter into an infinite loop.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service on the vulnerable system.

Note: the vulnerability was being actively exploited.
