Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.


1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-9518)

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 improper validation of user-supplied input within the HTTP.sys driver when processing HTTP/2 requests. A remote attacker can send specially crafted HTTP packets to the affected system trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.



2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-11612)

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 consumption of internal resources within ZlibDecoders in Netty while decoding a ZlibEncoded byte stream. A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion by passing an overly large ZlibEncoded byte stream to the Netty server, forcing the server to allocate all of its free memory to a single decoder.


3) Inconsistent interpretation of HTTP requests (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-7238)

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:N/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 attack.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing a whitespace before the colon in HTTP headers (e.g. "Transfer-Encoding : chunked") and a later Content-Length header. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request and perform HTTP request smuggling attack.

This issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2019-16869 (SB2019092616).
