Description

This security bulletin contains information about 8 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40153)

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

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the Centralized Third Party Jars (XStream) component in Oracle WebLogic Server. A remote non-authenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40152)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the Woodstox XML parser. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and crash the application.


3) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45143)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to manipulate server output.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation within the JsonErrorReportValve when handling type, message or description values. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request and manipulate or invalidate JSON output.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


4) HTTP response splitting (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-41915)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform HTTP splitting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to software does not validate header values when calling DefaultHttpHeaders.set with an iterator of values. A remote attacker can inject arbitrary header values and perform HTTP splitting attacks.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker perform cache poisoning attack.


5) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45693)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing data passed via the map parameter. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

6) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-45685)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing crafted JSON data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Insufficient verification of data authenticity (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-37533)

The vulnerability allows an attacker to redirect victim to a malicious host.

The vulnerability exists due to the application trusts the host from PASV response by default. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to an attacker controlled FTP server and then redirect the application to another host.


8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: N/A)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when handling log messages for failed authentication attempts. A remote attacker can permanently inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
