Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) LDAP injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-33201)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation in applications that use an LDAP CertStore from Bouncy Castle to validate X.509 certificates. During the certificate validation process, Bouncy Castle inserts the certificate's Subject Name into an LDAP search filter without any escaping, which leads to an LDAP injection vulnerability. A remote non-authenticated attacker can use a specially crafted X.509 certificate to bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application.
2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-42503)
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 when parsing .tar archives. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted archive to the application and consume excessive CPU usage.
3) Inclusion of Sensitive Information in Log Files (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44483)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to software stores sensitive information into log files when using the JSR 105 API. A remote user can obtain a private key when generating an XML Signature with debug level enabled.
4) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33813)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input within the SAXBuilder. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted XML code to the affected application and view contents of arbitrary files on the system or initiate requests to external systems.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to view contents of arbitrary file on the server or perform network scanning of internal and external infrastructure.
