Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Deserialization of untrusted data (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8013)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted data, trigger a deserialization error in a subclass of 'AbstractDocuent' and access potentially sensitive information.


2) XXE attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-5662)

CWE-ID: CWE-611 - Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference ('XXE')

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


The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to conduct XXE-attack on the target system.

The weakness exists due to improper restriction of XML external entity references. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted xml document to gain access to arbitrary files or conduct amplification attack to cause the service to crash.

3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-0250)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can read arbitrary files or cause a denial of service via a crafted SVG file.
